NC-2009 IEQp2:Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control

Smoking zone - away from pedestrian traffic

Hello, We have recently received a remark from a review that our designated smoking zone is not compliant since it is not 25 feet away from concentrations of building occupants and pedestrian traffic. The reference guide does not include this requirement for this prerequisite but it is mentioned in the implementation strategy. Not meeting a minimum distance (not mentioned) away from public concentrations of building occupants and pedestrian traffic should not be an issue to meet the requirement of this prerequisite. Has anyone had a similar feedback?

Yes - on an EBOM project. The reviewers do not want people who must pass by an area to reach an entrance to a building (such as near an elevator lobby in a parking deck) to have to pass through ETS / 2nd hand smoke. This has come up on more recent reviews.
