Tobacco Products

On August 27, 2015, Suffolk County Community College officially became tobacco-free. In order to provide a

clean and healthy environment for all students, employees and visitors, the College implemented a tobacco-

free policy that will:

• Protect Suffolk students, faculty, staff and visitors from unwanted and involuntary exposure to

tobacco and passive smoke;

• Prohibit the use of all tobacco and tobacco-derived products on all College grounds;

• Provide resources for tobacco users to get the help they need to quit for good.

We encourage all individuals who use tobacco and tobacco-derived products to access smoking cessation

programs and services at the College’s Health Services Offices. We invite tobacco users to review the

tobacco-free policy and explore the many resources available at

This

policy shall be strictly enforced and violators will be subject to conduct procedures outlined in the Student

Code of Conduct, and/or fines.
