Smoking Policy

All Cone Health facilities are tobacco-free. This means that employees, physicians, volunteers, patients and visitors will not be permitted to smoke or use any tobacco products while on the health network's property. This includes buildings, parking lots and vehicles in parking lots, garages, grounds and most off-site locations.
