Smoke-Free Campus Information for Faculty & Staff

Smoking Cessation

Faculty and staff who desire to investigate smoking cessation through nicotine replacement may obtain referral information for community resources available in their county of residence. The Counseling Center has compiled a list of county resources here.

All employees who would like to participate in the smoking cessation program will be given one (1) hour release time weekly to attend the smoking cessation sessions for a maximum of 6 weeks, with supervisory approval obtained in advance.

Smoke-Free Campus Violations

SU faculty and staff who violate the Smoke-Free Campus policy are subject to disciplinary action from the University.  A $75 fine may be assessed.  In early fall, during the initial implementation of the policy, one fine may be waived for smokers who agree to attend a cessation program.

Employees who receive multiple fines will be reported to the Human Resources Office and employees may be subject to disciplinary action.  Procedures to handle such violations (and appeals) are currently being developed.

The Smoke-Free Campus policy will be part of Salisbury University’s Employee Handbook.  To read the Employee Handbook, click "Employee Handbook."

For information about the Smoke-Free campus policy, visit the Smoke-Free Campus Web site.
