Jump to full article: Washington University in St. Louis (MO), 2009-11-05
Intro: Under the University's tobacco-free initiative, smoking and tobacco use will be prohibited in University-owned and -managed properties beginning July 1, 2010.
Research shows tobacco use constitutes a significant health hazard.
With this initiative, the University continues its tradition of being a leader on important social and health issues, and of translating knowledge gained through research into practice.
To help the WUSTL community prepare for the change and help those who wish to become tobacco-free, the University is working collaboratively with the community to support tobacco-use cessation efforts.
Myriad programs and events are offered to help students, faculty and staff quit smoking and using tobacco products, continuing this month with the Great American Smokeout Nov. 19. . . .
Throughout the Danforth Campus Nov. 19, WUSTL Dining Services will sell a special "Crudite to Go Cup" -- carrots, cucumbers, grape tomatos, zucchini, squash and ranch dip -- to help tobacco users make it through the day without tobacco.
