In accordance with the mission and vision of the College of Human Sciences-- "to improve the health, development, and economic well-being of individuals, families, and communities", the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act designed to protect people from the health hazards of secondhand smoke, and the Florida State University Healthy Campus 2010 Goals, the college of Human Sciences is an established "Breathe Easy Zone". There shall be no smoking in the Sandels Building, at any entrance to the building including the loading zone, or within 50 feet of the exterior of the building. A smoking area with seating, designated by a green post and green receptacle, is available adjacent to the patio along Legacy Way at the junction of sidewalks between Sandels, Jennie Murphree Hall, and Cawthon Hall. This area is accessible from the south exit of level one.

The success of this policy depends upon the good will of the college community. Both tobacco users and non-users have a collective responsibility to ensure compliance. Any person found out of complianceshould be referred to the campus smoking cessation program at Thagard Health Center.
