无烟校园政策
newbb电子平台 supports a smoke and tobacco-free campus as a wellness initiative to protect the health of 学生, 教师, 工作人员, and guests in keeping with the recommendation of the Ohio Board of Regents in July 2012. Becoming a smoke and tobacco-free campus encourages respect for others and respect for the environment.
Along with The American College Health Association (ACHA), newbb电子平台 also “acknowledges and supports the findings of the Surgeon General that tobacco use in any form, 主动和/或被动, 严重危害健康….further recognizes that environmental tobacco smoke has been classified as a Class-A carcinogen and that there is no safe level of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, 一种公认的有毒空气污染物. 2011, 美国医学会立场声明[PDF]).
A smoke and tobacco-free 俄亥俄州 campus encourages a green and clean environment, prepares our 学生 for other tobacco-free environments in their future, and can be a source of 俄亥俄州 pride in supporting a major wellness initiative. 回顾全文 无烟政策.

电子烟*
Electronic cigarettes will NOT be allowed for the following reasons:
- There is a lack of conclusive scientific research on e-cigarettes. 因此, there is no way of knowing whether e-cigarettes are safe and the potential for harm these consumer products may cause. 鉴于缺乏研究, a majority of universities nationwide include e-cigarettes in the definition of tobacco products.
- Permitting e-cigarettes will inevitably lead to confusion and difficulty in enforcement of a ban on cigarettes given the similarity in appearance between traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
- E-cigarettes are being used to smoke illegal drugs such as marijuana.
*The use of e-cigarettes will be revisited should they receive FDA approval.

戒烟资源和对烟草使用者的支持
Understanding the realities of nicotine/tobacco addiction and the concern about personal rights, there is strong empathy for university community members who smoke or use tobacco products. It is also important to note this initiative does not require any individual stop using tobacco products; such a decision is an individual’s choice. 俄亥俄州 is committed to assisting smokers and tobacco users on their journey if they choose to quit or cease use while on campus. Research indicates it can take multiple attempts to quit and therefore, 大学必须支持这些尝试, 包括戒烟计划, 支持团体, 还有尼古丁替代疗法. 在网站上找到更多信息 戒烟资源页面.
