Smoking cessation support

◆ Laws regarding the prevention of passive smoking and the University’s policy
  The revised Health Promotion Act and Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance to Prevent Exposure to Second Hand Smoke was enacted with the aim of preventing unwanted passive smoking, and had been fully implemented since April 1, 2020. Since schools are classified as class 1 facilities under the law, smoking is completely prohibited indoors, and smoking rooms are not permitted. In addition, administrative guidance, administrative actions and penalties, including collections of fines, for violations for violations are stipulated in the law and ordinances.
