6. What can smokers do while on campus? – UM does not require that anyone quit using tobacco, but in order to provide a clean and safe academic environment with access for all, UM has decided to go tobacco free. – There are many over-the-counter nicotine/tobacco replacements available. Many are the same price or less than cigarettes themselves. – Use the “Good Neighbor Zones” – We encourage those who do not want to quit to create a plan for coping while on campus. Refer to the Create a Plan for Compliance document for some helpful tips.
