Suggested Answer: B

To accommodate smoking areas while adhering to Feature A02: Smoke-Free Environment, the WELL AP should recommend locating designated smoking areas outdoors, at ground level, and more than 25 feet away from entrances, operable windows, and air intakes. This guideline ensures that smoke does not enter the building and affect indoor air quality or the well-being of non-smoking occupants. This approach reflects WELL's commitment to maintaining a smoke-free environment within the building to protect occupants from secondhand smoke exposure, a known health hazard, while still accommodating those who smoke in designated areas away from the building to minimize health risks to others.
