Smoking and Vaping

SCHS, in conjunction with Southside Medical Center (SMC), is committed to providing a safe and healthy healing environment and for promoting the health and well-being of its students, patients, staff, visitors, and community. Consistent with this commitment, SCHS/SMC recognizes the mounting scientific evidence of adverse health effects of tobacco products. Therefore, it is the policy of SCHS/ SMC to implement and maintain a tobacco- and smoke-free campus which prohibits the use of any smoking/vaping and other tobacco products on all SCHS/SMC owned and leased properties and any properties adjacent to property owned by SCHS/SMC.
