What is Breathe Easy?

Breathe Easy Zone  
A Breathe Easy Zone is an area 20-50 feet from the entrance of a building designated as no smoking. Designated smoking areas will be established in the vicinity of the building but outside of the Breathe Easy Zone.


Why?

Maintaining a healthy work and learning environment has long been a priority at FSU, beginning in 1992 when all indoor smoking was banned and continuing in 2005 with the adoption of Healthy Campus 2010.

Many campus employees and students have health problems and being exposed to second-hand smoke is very dangerous for them. It is well-documented that exposure to secondhand smoke increases a persons chance of developing health problems even if they’ve never smoked.
