Tobacco-Free Schools
Tobacco-Free Schools are educational institutions that prohibit the use of all tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco. This policy aims to create a healthier environment for students, staff, and visitors by reducing exposure to secondhand smoke and promoting overall wellness.
These schools often implement educational programs to inform students about the dangers of tobacco use and encourage healthy lifestyle choices. By fostering a tobacco-free culture, Tobacco-Free Schools help prevent the initiation of smoking among youth and support those who wish to quit using tobacco products.
