"Smoke Free" means the use of cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and other "smoke" emanating products including e-cigarettes, vapor devices and other like products are prohibited on all university properties. "Tobacco Free" means the use of cigarettes, pipes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, snuffs, and other tobacco products are prohibited on all university properties.
The new smoke- and tobacco-free campus policy at CSUEB applies to all university spaces indoor and outdoor, including parking lots and private residential space. The new policy applies to all CSUEB facilities, whether owned, leased or rented by the university or one of its auxiliaries. Also included are vehicles owned, leased or rented by the university or one of the university's auxiliaries. Private vehicles on university-owned, leased or rented land or in university-owned, leased or rented parking structures will also be subject to compliance with Executive Order 1108. California state law already prohibits smoking in all indoor areas within 20 feet of public buildings (including colleges and universities) and in all state-owned vehicles.
This policy bans both smoking and tobacco products.
