Overview
What does this mean to me?
A tobacco-free campus means that everyone refrains from using any tobacco products
including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars or pipes and smokeless or chewing tobacco
in WVC buildings or on WVC premises. This includes, but is not limited to all sidewalks,
parking lots, landscaped areas, recreational areas and buildings on any WVC property
and in any WVC owned, rented or leased vehicles.
Why did 天美传媒 go tobacco free?
We鈥檝e heard from you: tobacco is unhealthy. It smells bad, causes health problems
and litters our beautiful campuses. That sentiment comes from students, faculty, staff
and visitors.
A tobacco-free campus creates a healthier environment for all of us. It helps people
who want to quit using tobacco. It helps reduce the number of new tobacco-users.
How will the new policy be enforced?
Ultimately it is everyone鈥檚 responsibility to follow college policy while on college
property. We ask that everyone remind each other that we are a tobacco free college.
In addition to verbal reminders, failure to comply with the tobacco free policy could
result in disciplinary action.
