SIMMONS COLLEGE SCHOOL OF NURSING AND HEALTH SCIENCES Tobacco-Free Simmons

What is Tobacco-Free Simmons? Campus-wide initiative lead by SN&HS to instill a Smoke-free environment to protect the health and safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors by eliminating secondhand smoke on campus. Everyone will breathe easier! A tobacco-free Simmons will assure safety for all individuals from the effects of secondhand smoke exposure, such as those with asthma and allergies. Promote clean air, healthy environment, and healthy behavior Save money and staff time spent cleaning cigarette litter by eliminating butts and other tobacco waste on campus Prepare students for smoke-free work environments (e.g., hospitals, K-12 schools, etc.) Encourage tobacco users to quit or decrease use Support those who have already quit using tobacco Referenced on 11/22/2013,

Facts Supporting Tobacco-Free Policies There are currently 1,178 college/university campuses with 100% comprehensive smoke- free policies. Of these, 793 campuses are 100% tobacco-free (American for Nonsmokers’ Rights, 2013.) The American College Health Association (ACHA) supports a NO TOBACCO USE policy on all campuses (ACHA, 2011). Even intermittent, non-nicotene dependent college-age smokers are at risk for adverse health outcomes (Caldeira et al., 2012.) Policy change is the most efficient means of establishing a campus non-smoking “norm” (Wisotsky, Albuquerue, Pechacek & Park, 2004).

Simmons Student Leaders = Change! Communication to Student Organizations Your voice is heard on campus Tobacco-free signs Remove ashtray receptacles from campus Policy reminder cards and contact info for more information Rewarding to promote change and improvement on campus and empowers our leadership for a better Simmons today and tomorrow!
