The South Carolina Clean Indoor Air Act of 1990 became state law effective August 1, 1990. The purpose of this act as expressed in the text is “…to accommodate the needs of nonsmokers to be free from exposure to tobacco smoke within public indoor places…” The act restricts smoking in public schools and government buildings. This act is applicable to Spartanburg Community College.
Smoking and the use of tobacco products including electronic cigarettes are prohibited in all College owned buildings and structures, except designated structures provided specifically as smoking/tobacco use areas.
Smoking and the use of tobacco products including electronic cigarettes is allowed in parking lots, outside seating areas, and designated smoking/tobacco areas that are twenty-five (25) feet or greater from all college structures.
Violations of the smoking/tobacco policy may result in one of the following sanctions: Campus Police/Security may issue an official warning or a ticket to the individual; offenders issued a ticket will be fined $25.00 per violation. After the second offense, students will be referred to the Dean of Student Engagement as a student code violator.
