buildings and by entrances to buildings where smoke can be drawn into buildings (e.g. through doors, windows, air conditioning, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Over the coming weeks, the signage outside buildings will be reviewed, and where necessary improved, to deter people from smoking in these locations.\u00a0 You too can play a part in protecting people:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0If you are a smoker, please try to think about where you smoke and the likelihood of the smoke entering a building.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0If you see a member of staff, a student or a visitor smoking in a location where smoke could be drawn into a University building, please politely inform them that they shouldn\u2019t do so.<\/p>\n<p>Non-smokers have a right to not be exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke.<\/p>\n<p>The health
