Smoking is not permitted anywhere at Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology, including all common work areas, elevators, hallways, vehicles, restrooms, student lounge, conference and meeting rooms, faculty/staff offices, classrooms and all other enclosed areas. The policy applies to all students, employees, and visitors, with no exceptions. Smoking is allowed only in the designated area at Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology (picnic area on the corner of Appleton and Tremont Street).  Signs are posted in this area.

In addition, to lessen the effects of second-hand smoke, individuals smoking outside of college buildings are prohibited from smoking within 25 feet from exterior entrances, the plaza, operable windows or outdoor air-intakes, regardless if the smoking is on or off the college campus, including 40 Berkeley St.
