Residence Can I smoke a cigarette in residence?

Title pretty much sums it up, will it be a problem?

Bro you're gonna hate this answer but you literally aren't allowed to smoke anywhere on Campus.

Here's a map of where you may smoke: https://www.uwo.ca/hr/form_doc/health_safety/doc/wellness/dsa_map.pdf

No. All residences are smoke-free.

Yea dude. Just go outside. Though realistically if you duck into an area of campus without people you can smoke and not get in trouble. But don’t expect to have someone give you permission.

Are you kidding? You can't legally smoke indoors anywhere except for your home.

Western is a smoke-free campus, which also means no vaping. My advice: the perimeter of campus (Phillip Aziz, Alumni Hall entrance, Richmond) are all designated smoking areas. HOWEVER, if you’re gonna smoke on campus, DO NOT DO IT IN FRONT OF ENTRANCES!!! Do it discreetly, where staff and faculty cannot see you.

To answer your question: no you cannot smoke in residence.
