The University of Messina is committed to a free-smoke office policy. No smoking or other use of tobacco products (included electronic cigarettes) is permitted in any part of the buildings within the University. In order to ensure compliance with this policy, the University has assigned to each building an employee entrusted to ensure that the anti-smoke policy is abided in each building. Moreover, the University organizes annually a meeting to promote the free-smoke policy among students, employees and citizens and to spread awareness on the consequences of the use of tobacco.
