\"Tobacco-free<\/a>
\nThe campus and community are reminded that Northern Arizona University’s tobacco-free policy<\/a>\u00a0is now in effect.<\/p>\n

The student-driven policy supports a healthy learning and working environment for all.<\/p>\n

It prohibits the use of all tobacco products, including e-cigarette devices, on campus.<\/p>\n

“Staff, students and faculty have a powerful role to play in ensuring the success of the new policy,” said Melissa Griffin<\/strong>, NAU health promotion manager. “While most people may feel hesitant approaching someone who is using tobacco, it is important that we all provide a kind and supportive reminder to others who may not be aware of the policy.”<\/p>\n

All members of the campus community are encouraged to use the SMOKE method to help spread the word whenever they see someone using tobacco on campus.<\/p>\n

SMOKE:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. S<\/strong>mile and introduce yourself<\/li>\n
  2. M<\/strong>ake the assumption the person is not aware of the policy<\/li>\n
  3. O<\/strong>ffer information about the tobacco-free policy and quit resources<\/li>\n
  4. K<\/strong>indly enforce the policy by asking them not to use tobacco on campus<\/li>\n
  5. E<\/strong>xpress thanks for complying with the policy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “While the new policy does not require that anyone quit tobacco, we do recognize that it is an incredibly difficult habit to break,” Griffin said. For anyone interested in quitting, a variety of quit resources are available and can be found on the tobacco-free website at nau.edu\/tobacco-free<\/a>.<\/p>\n
