28 C.F.R. Subpart N—Smoking/No Smoking Areas
Title 28 - Judicial Administration
Source: 69 FR 13737, Mar. 24, 2004, unless otherwise noted.
To advance towards becoming a clean air environment and to protect the health and safety of staff and inmates, the Bureau of Prisons will restrict areas and circumstances where smoking is permitted within its institutions and offices. For purpose of this subpart, smoking is defined as carrying or inhaling a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or other lighted tobacco products. (a) The Warden must designate a smoking area for use in instances where smoking is part of an authorized inmate religious activity. (b)(1) The Warden may designate only outdoor smoking areas for general inmate use (that is, for smoking which is not part of an authorized religious activity). These smoking areas must be clearly identified. (2) The Warden, with the Regional Director's concurrence, may choose not to designate smoking areas for general use. Once this occurs, the Regional Director's concurrence is required if the Warden later chooses to designate smoking areas for general use at the institution.
