Luther Seminary Smoke-Free Policy

The scope of this policy applies to all employees, regardless of position or employment classification, students, contractors and other visitors on Seminary property.

Because Luther Seminary wants to provide employees, students and guests with a healthy work environment, the Seminary is committed to providing a tobacco-free campus. The use of tobacco products, which includes, but is not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, pipes, e-cigarettes, vapor-related products (heat activated or otherwise) and all other forms of smoked and smokeless tobacco, will not be allowed within any of its public buildings. This includes all offices and living spaces in each of these buildings as well as all campus residences.

Prohibited tobacco use includes smoking (inhaling, exhaling, burning, vaping or carrying any lighted cigar, cigarette, e-cigarette or pipe) and the use of smokeless, chewable tobacco. The littering of tobacco-related products on the grounds, parking lots or neighboring properties is also prohibited.
