Policy

The Algoma University endeavors to provide a safe and healthy environment for work and study. The University recognizes scientific research indicating that smoking is harmful to one’s health and to the health of others through second-hand tobacco smoke.

The University also recognizes tobacco as an addictive substance and is committed to delivering programs and education aimed at providing protection from tobacco smoke pollution while providing support for those with tobacco addictions and for smoking cessation.

The objective of this policy is to uphold the Algoma University’s commitment to provide a safe, clean and healthy smoke-free environment for the University community. Algoma University’s Smoking/Tobacco Policy will compliment the Ontario government's Smoke- Free Ontario Act 2005, which prohibits smoking in enclosed workplaces, company vehicles and enclosed public places.
