The University of Toronto is going smoke-free. U of T’s smoke-free policy prohibits smoking and vaping tobacco, cannabis and other products on all U of T property, including in vehicles.
The policy implemented on all three U of T campuses in 2018 ensures that students, faculty and staff, as well as visitors and the surrounding community, enjoy a safe and healthy environment.
During a transition period, UTM has launched outdoor Designated Smoking Areas.
The university has a website that answers questions about this policy and provides links to resources.
UTM works with TerraCycle to recycle waste from outdoor cigarette butt collectors on campus. TerraCycle separates the components, then composts the residual tobacco and paper, and cleans, melts and pelletizes the filters (typically made with plastic) for recycling. Please dispose of your litter in the receptacles provided to keep our campus clean and wildlife safe.
