From the Johns Hopkins No Tobacco Policy:

Johns Hopkins recognizes the deleterious health effects of tobacco and supports a tobacco-free environment. Therefore, use of any tobacco products, smoking of tobacco, use of smokeless tobacco, and other combustible materials by employees, faculty, students, volunteers, patients, visitors, and other individuals including temporary works and contractors are prohibited in all Hopkins buildings, except for specifically designated smoking areas.

There are designated smoking areas exterior to Johns Hopkins buildings which are identified by signage. Employees and visitors who wish to smoke or vape may do so in these designated areas. They may also do so on public sidewalks on the perimeter of Johns Hopkins buildings unless the area is posted as No Smoking.
