Tobacco-Free Hunter
Tobacco-free living comes to all Hunter campuses this fall
As of August 27, 2012, tobacco may not be used anywhere on Hunter College campuses. This policy applies to all tobacco products, such as chewing tobacco and e-cigarettes. Restrictions are in effect on all indoor and outdoor locations, including doorways, stairwells and terraces.
Promoting Health and Well-Being
A tobacco-free environment will provide the following benefits to Hunter College faculty, staff, students and the entire campus community:
- Supports community efforts to reduce or eliminate tobacco use in public settings
- Eliminates second-hand smoke from around building entrances
- Eliminates litter from cigarette butts and other debris
- May encourage some tobacco users to stop a harmful habit
- Prepares students to cope with future employment in tobacco-free environments
- Sets a positive example for high school students and young children who are often on campus
