Smoke Free Policy

Smoke Free Policy

In the best interest of the health of our patients, visitors and health care providers, St. Charles Health System’s facilities are entirely tobacco-free. Tobacco use — defined as the smoking of cigarettes, cigars and pipes and the use of chewing tobacco and e-cigarettes — poses a significant health risk to the user and can be harmful to others. Tobacco use restrictions apply to all caregivers, physicians, patients, families and visitors.
