RESPONSE
Thank you for your concern and for your dedication to fitness. Regulations prohibit smoking in the vicinity of doors, windows, and air intake vents around all facilities. Smokers should be far enough away that it does not interfere with visitors coming and going from a facility. The PRIDE Hangar does not have a designated smoking area and we will place "Designated No Smoking Area" signs near the entrance to the facility. Enforcement of the no smoking policy falls to the AF Members and patrons of the Pride Hangar, as it is not currently staffed.
The Air Force encourages military members to maintain a healthy tobacco free lifestyle and offers programs to help Airmen stop tobacco use. However, we do not prohibit an individual's personal choice to smoke, even immediately after a PT session. |
