Tobacco Free -
In March of 2014, University System of Georgia (USG) adopted a
tobacco-free campus policy. Darton State College, a unit of USG, is in compliance with this
policy and is a Tobacco & Smoke Free Campus. The goal of the policy is to preserve and
improve the health, comfort and environment of students, employees and any persons
occupying our campus.
The use of all forms of tobacco products on property owned, leased, rented, in the
possession of, or in any way used by the USG or its affiliates is expressly prohibited.
“Tobacco Products” is defined as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, all forms of smokeless tobacco,
clove cigarettes and any other smoking devices that use tobacco such as hookahs or
simulate the use of tobacco such as electronic cigarettes.
Further, this policy prohibits any advertising, sale, or free sampling of tobacco products on
USG properties unless specifically stated for research purposes. This prohibition includes
but is not limited to all areas indoors and outdoors, buildings and parking lots owned, leased,
rented or otherwise used by the USG or its affiliates. The use of tobacco products is
prohibited in all vehicles – private or public vehicles - located on USG properties.
This policy applies to all persons who enter the areas described above, including but not
limited to students, faculty, staff, contractors and subcontractors, spectators, and visitors. All
events hosted by a USG entity shall be tobacco-free. All events hosted by outside groups on
behalf of the USG shall also be tobacco-free.
