(1) The act(s) of smoking or chewing tobacco shall not be permitted inside any Central Washington University administrative or academic building or in identified external areas that may affect those people inside the administrative and academic buildings.
(2) Smoking is prohibited within a presumptively reasonable minimum distance of twenty-five feet from entrances, exits, windows that open, and ventilation intakes of campus buildings where smoking is prohibited so as to ensure that tobacco smoke does not enter the area through entrances, exits, open windows, or other means.
(3) Smoking will be allowed in identified outdoor smoking areas in compliance with chapter
70.160 RCW. Signs will be posted to identify smoke-free buildings and, if a smoking area is designated, the location of that area. Smokers can request a designated area through the office of the vice president for business and financial affairs. The local health officer may exempt designated smoking areas on campus from the twenty-five-foot minimum distance from entrances, exits, windows that open, and ventilation intakes of campus buildings where smoking is prohibited, upon application by the vice president of business and financial affairs and a finding that the public health and safety will be adequately protected by a lesser distance.
