Tobacco-Free KU
Tobacco-Free KU Policy
The University of Kansas, along with universities nation-wide, promotes a respectful, healthy, environmentally sustainable, and clean environment by being tobacco-free. This policy sets forth the University’s restrictions on the use of tobacco products and electronic cigarette devices. This applies to faculty, staff, students, and visitors of the Lawrence and Edwards campuses and all other university sites reporting to the Lawrence campus.
The success of this policy relies on the thoughtfulness, consideration, and cooperation of each individual. All members of the university community share the responsibility of adhering to and enforcing the policy and have the responsibility for bringing it to the attention of visitors. All students, faculty, staff, vendors, volunteers, and visitors are expected to cooperate with this policy. Individuals are encouraged and empowered to respectfully inform others about the policy in an ongoing effort to support a tobacco-free environment, improve individual health and encourage a culture of respectful cooperation.
