The President’s Task Force on a Smoke-Free Campus conducted a survey last year to understand student, staff and faculty views about Wayne State University becoming a smoke- and tobacco-free institution.

Based on survey results and recommendations from the task force, the University is revising and expanding its non-smoking policy.  

Effective August 2015, Wayne State will join hundreds of colleges and universities across the country that already have adopted smoke- and tobacco-free policies for indoor and outdoor spaces.

An implementation committee has been formed and is developing a rollout plan in preparation for August.

The university community will receive communication in the coming months about the revised policy as well as tips and tools for helping make this change at the University a positive one.
