Promoting a Healthier Campus

No-smoking near entrances or around air intake vents.

October 31, 2024 — 

To foster a healthier environment for everyone on campus, we kindly remind all UM community members to refrain from smoking or vaping inside any buildings, as well as outside near entrances and air intake vents. You will notice “No Smoking” signs posted in these areas across our UM campuses to help keep our spaces comfortable and safe for everyone.

Please remember to dispose of cigarette butts in designated receptacles only, rather than in regular waste or recycling bins, and avoid littering them on the grounds. Misplaced cigarette butts can pose a fire risk, potentially damaging campus property and causing personal injury.

For those seeking assistance with smoking cessation, please visit your family doctor or pharmacy for a free consultation. Additional Health and Wellness Resources are also available for students and employees through the University’s websites. Thank you for helping to keep our campus clean and safe for all!
