Smoking is now prohibited at CSUSB
except in designated smoking areas


Purpose

California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) is a “Smoke-free” Campus, except in designated smoking areas. CSUSB's policy provides a healthy working and learning environment. The purpose of this policy is to reduce harm from secondhand smoke, provide an environment that encourages persons to be tobacco-free, establish a campus culture of wellness, reduce health insurance and health-care costs, and promote a tobacco-free future. The 2006 US Surgeon General's Report states that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Breathing secondhand smoke for even a short time can be harmful and set processes in motion such as cancer, heart disease, or respiratory conditions.

Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of all members of the campus community, including visitors, to observe this policy. It is recommended that all administrators, deans, directors, department chairs, and supervisors will communicate the policy to everyone within their areas of responsibility.

It is the responsibility of the Student Health Center and the Center for Health Education and Wellness, to provide information regarding tobacco prevention and cessation.

Procedures & Implementation

The policy will be communicated to all members of the campus community. Education regarding the university's smoke-free policy with the exception of designated smoking areas, will be included in SOAR orientation for all incoming freshmen and employees. Sufficient signage will be posted to inform members of the campus community and its visitors, including contractors and vendors, of the policy.

Compliance with this policy is the shared responsibility of all CSUSB staff, students, and faculty members. The success of this policy will depend upon the courtesy, respect, and cooperation of users and non-users of tobacco products.

As an enrolled student at CSUSB, you pay a Student Health Fee and are eligible for health and counseling services at the Student Health and Psychological Counseling Center. Your Student Health Fee supports and finances the operation of the Health Center. Although basic health care is provided, treatment for major illnesses and injury (e.g., motor vehicle accidents), as well as certain conditions requiring a specialist or hospitalization, are beyond the scope of service. Students are referred to an outside provider for these illnesses or injuries and it is the student's responsibility to pay the costs associated with the referral. It is important to carry health insurance. Faculty and staff are not eligible for services except in case of emergency.

Please call ahead to schedule an appointment and with any inquiries you may have. There is NO fee for routine office visits!
