Is smoking ever permitted in the classroom?

Smoking is not permitted in any public building in the state of Maryland. This prohibition applies to all campus facilities (classrooms, offices, hallways and so forth) even if everyone in the class/work area agrees to permit smoking. Smoking is prohibited outside of buildings within 15 feet of any building entrance, air intake duct or window. This policy applies to all students, staff and faculty. There are no exceptions. Individuals who violate this policy will be disciplined and may be fined.
