Drake University complies with the Iowa Smoke Free Air Act and prohibits smoking on campus.  Drake’s policy also prohibits the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) on campus, with the exception of performing arts performances in which e-cigarettes may be utilized by actors as part of a theatrical production.

For purposes of this prohibition, the Drake campus includes:

• All buildings on campus (residence hall rooms and common areas, work areas, private offices, conference and meeting rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, lounges, cafeterias, stairways, hallways, and other enclosed spaces).
• All property maintained by Drake University, including either leased or owned property, such as athletic fields, sidewalks, and parking lots.
• Seating areas of outdoor sporting events, stadiums, and other outdoor entertainment venues.
• All vehicles owned, leased, or rented by the University.
• All vehicles when parked on University property.

All students, faculty, staff, contractors, and visitors are responsible for observing the provisions of this policy.
