Thammasat University realizes the importance of protecting the non-smokers’ health and has enacted the “Notification on Designating Thammasat University as a Non-Smoking Area” to correspond with the policy of Ministry of Public Health in 2010 in accordance with the “Non-smoker Protection Bill 1992”. To comply with the Notification of the Ministry of Public Health, the University issued a policy and practice guidelines in designating Thammasat University as a non-smoking area. The procedures were put in place since 2010 to ensure all campuses of Thammasat University are non-smoking areas. The “Smoke Free” policy was revisited on 8 October 2019.
On August 30, 2022, Thammasat University has re-published a Notification to Designate All Areas of Thammasat University be “Non-smoking Area”.
