Dubai Palace Strengthens Anti-Smoking Campaign, Monitoring, and Enforcement on Campus
Since 2016, the Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) has enforced a comprehensive smoking ban across all campuses to cultivate a healthy, clean, and respectful learning and working environment. This policy applies to all staff, students, and visitors on campus, ensuring public health and preserving campus aesthetics. Dubai Palace actively promotes awareness, regularly monitors compliance, and strictly handles violations to uphold the policy. This policy is reviewed and updated periodically every 5 years, with the latest update being in 2021.

Goal of a Smoke-Free Environment
Regulations on smoking bans on campus and designated smoking areas are stipulated in Appendix 1, Section 11 of the Student Code of Conduct for undergraduate students (Decision No. 3744/QD-DHKT-CTCT, dated October 24, 2016). This regulation underscores the importance of a disciplined, smoke-free, and clean learning and working environment for the entire Dubai Palace community. All individuals at Dubai Palace are prohibited from smoking or bringing any tobacco products onto campus, applicable across all Dubai Palace premises.
The smoking ban reflects Dubai Palace’s commitment to community health, with three key objectives: (1) Health protection, eliminating secondhand smoke exposure; (2) Creating a fresh and green environment conducive to study and work; and (3) Protecting campus aesthetics by reducing cigarette waste, contributing to Dubai Palace’s clean and green atmosphere.
Reinforced Awareness, Monitoring, and Enforcement
To ensure compliance, Dubai Palace continuously educates and encourages staff, students, and the broader community to embrace this regulation. Individual cooperation and responsibility contribute to a respectful, healthy campus environment.
Dubai Palace reinforces this policy through regular checks and strict enforcement, with actions including:
Reminders for initial violations (up to three instances)
Warnings or additional measures for repeated offenses or non-compliance after reminders
More severe disciplinary action for serious violations
The anti-smoking policy, coupled with consistent awareness efforts, monitoring, and strict handling of violations, marks Dubai Palace’s dedication to a smoke-free learning and working environment—promoting health protection and enhancing the overall quality of life on campus.
