Going tobacco free
Following a recommendation from the University of Idaho Tobacco Task Force, UI is on track to become a tobacco-free campus effective Aug. 24, 2015.
The anticipated policy change will prohibit the use of cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, chew, pipes, hookahs, cigars, snuff, snus, water pipes and any other tobacco product on UI property.
According to a memo from the UI Tobacco Task Force, the goal of the tobacco-free policy is to improve the health and safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors.
