Renee:

Here's the no smoking policy:
http://manuals.ucdavis.edu/ppm/290/290-10.htm   Most folks are aware of the
state law, banning smoking in buildings.

And then a directive, implementing a new law in CA prohibiting smoking
within 20 feet of doors, etc.
http://directives.ucdavis.edu/2004/04-019.cfm

A student group (I think) got a grant and had signs made up that they
plastered on every exit door on campus:

"No Smoking within 20 feet of main entrances, exits or operable windows."

We depend on the disgust of the non-smokers to keep the smokers in check
.  There is a progressive discipline process available for the
incorrigible but it's rarely used.  Peer-pressure is more effective.

Hope this helps,
Debbie
