From: Wright State Communications on behalf of Shari Mickey-Boggs; Associate Vice President and CHRO, WSU
Subject: Wright State will become a tobacco-free campus July 1

We're just one month away from Wright State University becoming a tobacco-free campus. The new tobacco-free policy, which takes effect July 1, will help promote a healthy environment in which our students, staff and faculty can learn, work, and live.

Wright State started to investigate this initiative five years ago with a task force comprised of faculty, staff, and students, as well as Public Health – Dayton and Montgomery County. After careful review, many surveys and campus discussions, the decision was made to become tobacco free.

Beginning July 1, all smoking and smokeless tobacco products, as well as e-cigarettes, will be prohibited in all university facilities, on university-owned or leased grounds, and in university residence halls and apartments. However, nicotine-replacement gum, lozenges, and patches, as well as other cessation products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will be permitted.

In order to support our faculty, staff, and students who want to quit, we are continuing to offer free tobacco cessation classes. The next offerings begin June 1 on the Dayton Campus and June 8 at Lake Campus. More classes will be offered this fall.

For details or to register, contact Doug Newton, Wellness program director, at doug.newton@wright.edu or call 937-775-5256. 

Visit wright.edu/tobaccofree for information about this important initiative and additional tobacco cessation resources. 

Thank you for supporting this step that will benefit our university, our health, and our future.
