SUBJECT:    Changes to the Smoke Free Perimeter

On March 4, 2009 in an all-campus email to faculty, staff and students, I asked for comments regarding a proposal to extend the smoke-free perimeter on campus. The UC San Diego Smoke Free Policy (PPM 270-7) prohibits smoking in any indoor area, or within 20 feet of a doorway, entryway, operable window or ventilation intake duct to any facility. The campus was asked to weigh in on a proposal to increase the smoke-free perimeter to 25 feet. The comment period ended April 10, 2009.

Nearly all respondents were in favor of the proposed change. Therefore, the UC San Diego Smoke Free Policy has now been updated to establish the smoke-free perimeter at 25 feet. The new policy issuance is available at:
