In keeping with the spirit of the HHS mission, to promote and protect the health, well being, self-sufficiency and safety of all in Marin County, the Board of Supervisors approved the implementation of a smoke-free campus policy, effective February 2012 for employees, visitors, and clients of County-owned HHS facilities.

Smoke-Free Campus Policy Guidelines:
- Smoking is prohibited within HHS-occupied County owned buildings and in all outdoor areas of HHS-occupied County owned buildings, such as parking lots, on-site bus shelters, driveways, private or County vehicles while parked at an HHS facility.
- HHS will provide tobacco cessation information to employees and to clients to help promote a smoke-free and tobacco-free environment.
- All employees, clients, peers, contractors and visitors are expected to fully support and comply with the tobacco-free policies outlined in this and related policies.
- Individuals who do smoke are required to walk off County property (at least 30 feet from the buildings and parking lots) in order to comply with the County resolution and so that smoke does not create an unhealthy zone for everyone coming or going to any HHS buildings.
