By the decision of our University Executive Board dated 12.08.2026 and numbered 2026/16/23, in order to create healthy living spaces across our university buildings and campuses and to protect our students and staff from the harmful effects of tobacco products, smoking and the use of other tobacco products are prohibited in all indoor and outdoor areas of our buildings and campuses under the "Smoke-Free Campus" approach and in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), except for the designated areas specified in the link, which are based on a minimum distance of 20 meters from buildings.
Administrative action will be initiated against those who act contrary to this decision and consume tobacco products in prohibited areas.
All relevant parties are kindly requested to show the necessary sensitivity.
