Smoke / Tobacco Free Campus

As of July 1, 2015 Illinois Central College is a smoke/tobacco free campus in accordance with Illinois law that all colleges and universities in Illinois must remain smoke/tobacco free.

What does this mean?

Smoke free/tobacco free means the use of tobacco or related products (herbal substitutes, for example) will not be allowed anywhere on campus. The law requires ICC to disallow the following anywhere on campus.

“the carrying, using, burning, inhaling, or exhaling of any kind of tobacco product, including but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, cigarillos, smokeless tobacco, chew, snuff, herbs, hookah-smoked products, cannabis (including medical marijuana) and electronic nicotine delivery systems including all forms of ‘e-cigarettes’ and personal vaporizers.”
