Policy Details</h2> <p><strong>Smoke Free USC</strong></p> <p>USC is committed to promoting a healthy, safe, and comfortable environment for all students, faculty, staff and visitors. Both Direct and secondhand smoke exposure is a cause of various health problems and diseases. Even for healthy non-smokers, there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke has been shown to cause cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and other harmful effects on children. Smoking also puts the university at risk of incurring institutional costs associated with fire damage, cleaning and maintenance, health care, and medical insurance. Therefore, smoking is strictly prohibited in all indoor and outdoor USC Properties, including within vehicles parked on the premises.</p> <p><strong>Exceptions</strong></p> <p>Smoking may be permitted in connection with the following:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Research activities if approved by the USC Institutional Review Board or other appropriate research committee through the Office for the Protection of Research Subjects</li><li>Ceremonial purposes with prior approval of the sponsoring department and the Office of Cultural Relations and University Events</li><li>University-sponsored theatrical and performance purposes where simulation of smoking may be permitted under approved university event guidelines.</li><li>Enforcement for the policy is the responsibility of each member of the USC community. Refusal by faculty, staff or students to comply with this policy may result in disciplinary action. Visitors who refuse to comply will be asked to leave the premises and could be subject to arrest for trespassing if they persist.</li></ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">6.
