Smokeless UNIGE
The University* is applying the new Canton of Geneva's Law on the Smoking Ban in Public Places (LIF-K1 18), through an ambitious policy for prevention against addictions: it is strictly forbidden to smoke close to buildings in a perimeter of 9 metres away from any air intake (door, window, ventilation, etc.) or up to the property limits.
Ashtrays are being moved away, or removed. Pocket ashtrays are available freely at the buildings' reception.
*committed since 1996 for a Smokeless University
