Student Life Handbook: Policies and Procedures Tobacco

In the state of California, it is illegal for persons under the age of 21 to purchase, use, or possess tobacco or tobacco products, and it is also a violation of college policy to do so.  Under no circumstances shall any member of the community use or possess tobacco products (including cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, snuff, hookah pipes, and electronic or vape devices or products) on campus or when attending college-related student activities. Additionally, Westmont is located in a high fire region and neighbors have a legitimate concern when they notice students smoking in the area. For these reasons students 21 or older may not smoke in the vicinity of the college (including the hills behind campus) and are subject to a $100 fine per incident.
