Tobacco-Free Policy
The Clovis Community College Board of Trustees recognizes that all use of tobacco, including cigars, cigarettes, pipes, electronic cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco represents a health and safety hazard which can present serious consequences for the user and those non-users who are exposed to

Smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco is prohibited by all students, employees, visitors, and guests in all buildings and vehicles owned or leased by Clovis Community College and in any other areas around the college designated as non-smoking
or non-tobacco use. Tobacco-free areas include all college courtyards, spaces between buildings, and campus interior parking lots. Designated smoking areas are the perimeter parking lots only.
