University Smoke free policy

On 26th March 2006 the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act and the Prohibition of Smoking in Certain Premises (Scotland) Regulations 2006 come into force. From this date, smoking will no longer be allowed in most wholly or substantially enclosed public places in Scotland.

A  Smoke Free policy has been developed for the University through a process of discussion and consultation with  the Safety, Health and Environment Committee.

This policy, which replaces the existing policy, will come into effect on 26th March 2006.  Please note that from 26 March 2006, smoking will be prohibited throughout all University buildings, around entrances to buildings, within internal courtyards or in any University vehicle.
