Dartmouth is committed to providing a healthy environment for our community. Given the growing evidence that tobacco use is a risk factor for a variety of life-threatening diseases, including COVID-19, we would like to provide every opportunity possible for all of our community members to protect themselves.

In support of that objective, Dartmouth adopted a tobacco-free policy, effective March 18, 2021. The policy prohibits use of any tobacco or nicotine-delivery products by students, staff, faculty, or visitors on any property owned, operated or occupied by Dartmouth.

The policy applies to all indoor and outdoor public and private spaces, including common areas, conference rooms, residential space, on- and off-campus housing controlled or managed by Dartmouth, fraternities and sororities, parking lots, Dartmouth-owned or leased vehicles, and any public streets or sidewalks within 20 feet of a Dartmouth building.
