TOBACCO/NICOTINE-FREE SCHOOL PROPERTY
It is the intention of the Evansville Community School District to be "tobacco and nicotine free". To reach this goal, possession or the use of tobacco and/or nicotine products, and electronic cigarettes, is prohibited on school premises. School premises includes all property owned by, rented by or under the control of the District including buildings, grounds and vehicles.
Citizens who are observed using tobacco and/or nicotine products on school premises will be asked to refrain from doing so. Any individual who fails to comply with the request will be referred to the appropriate supervisory staff for possible removal from school premises. If said individual does not leave the premises, appropriate authorities will be called and violators may be subject to penalties in accordance with laws and local ordinances.
The term “electronic cigarette” means any oral device that provides a vapor of liquid nicotine, lobelia, and/or other substance, and the use or inhalation of which simulates smoking. The term shall include any such devices, whether they are manufactured, distributed, marketed or sold as e-cigarettes, ecigars, e-pipes, vaporizers, or under any other product name or descriptor.
