A Healthier Campus for Students, Faculty, Staff, and Visitors
ANSR is working to promote the adoption of tobacco-free policies at colleges and universities located in Anoka and Ramsey Counties. A tobacco-free policy prohibits smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco products on all school properties and in all school-owned or leased vehicles.
A comprehensive tobacco use policy also prohibits the sale of tobacco products on campus, tobacco advertisements in school publications, and tobacco company sponsorship of school programs and events.
The tobacco-free campus intervention is funded through the Minnesota Department of Health’s Statewide Health Improvement Program also know as SHIP. The objectives are to reduce tobacco use initiation, increase access to tobacco use cessation, and decrease places where tobacco use is permitted through policy, systems, and environmental changes.
