To promote the health and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff, and to reduce involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke, smoking and/or the use of any tobacco or cannabis products, vapor, or e-cigarettes is prohibited within or outside of all facilities and grounds that are owned, leased, or operated by the College. This includes the use of these products outside of any vehicle. No designated areas are provided by the College for smoking. Students, faculty, staff, and visitors may smoke, vape (not cannabis), and/or use tobacco products, or e-cigarettes in their personal vehicles when attending class, working, or visiting any Mid campus location.
Recognizing that each and every person benefits from a smoke- and tobacco-free campus environment, the enforcement of the Policy is equitably placed on all members of the College community. Students, faculty, staff, and visitors are expected to adhere to the Policy, and persons who repeatedly disregard the Policy will be subject to the disciplinary processes defined under Mid’s Conduct Guidelines.

Cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, snuff, water pipes, pipes, hookahs, chew and any other non-combustible tobacco product.
While there are no designated public smoking areas on campus, individuals may smoke or use tobacco products within their personal vehicles located on college grounds.

The Policy applies to everyone visiting Mid’s campuses for any reason, including students, staff, vendors, and guests.
There is no legal right defined under state or federal law. Prohibiting smoking on campus, except in personal vehicles, provides everyone access to clean, smoke-free air while allowing adults who smoke to continue to do so. This decision supports the rights and privileges of both smokers and non-smokers alike.
Students or staff who see an individual smoking or using a tobacco product, outside of their personal vehicle, may respectfully inform them of the policy or may also contact Campus Security. Harrison Campus Security (989) 339-4204;
