4 Assessment National Surveys 14.7% of student respondents indicated that they had used cigarettes in the last 30 days and 8.3% indicated that they had used Hookah. Perceived use very high. In a recent health survey, 19% of US adults (18 and over) identified themselves as current cigarette smokers. At AU 12.5% of undergraduate student respondents indicated that they smoke multiple times a day, with another 6.8% reporting smoking between once a week to once a day. 10% of graduate students identified themselves as a smoker. Estimate that the percentage of faculty, staff and contractors who smoke in their respective buildings and department is closer to 10%. It is estimated that nearly 30% of contract workers smoke. American College Health Association National College Health Assessment, Spring 2012 National Health Interview Survey, 2011 AU Undergraduate Student Smoking Ban Survey, AU Graduate Student Survey Related to Smoke Free, 2011.
5 Forms of Tobacco Hookah Use: Seen by some to be safer. Second most commonly used form of tobacco. Nationally, 8.4% of students used in past 30 days. Nearly 60% of hookah users report using another form of tobacco as well. Campuses are seeing the use of e-cigarettes: 2.6% of students who use tobacco also use e-cigarettes. 13% of cigarette smokers also use e-cigarettes. Source: University of Kentucky
6 Where Smoking Occurs Today
7 Policy Framework Policy Element Proposed 1. Effective date and rationale for policy August 15, Tobacco use in any form is a significant health hazard (Surgeon General). To reduce the health risks associated with exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke). Reduce health costs associated with tobacco and smoking use. 2. Does the policy apply to only smoking or to the use of any tobacco product? Prohibits use of any and all tobacco products, whether inhaled or ingested. Applies to all tobacco and smoking products including Hookah, and electronic cigarettes. 3. Are students and employees prohibited from bringing tobacco products or just using these products on campus? Not prohibited from bringing to campus. Use, distribution, and sale on campus are prohibited. 7
8 Policy Framework Policy Element 4. Does the policy apply to contractors, students, visitors, and other nonemployees, or only to employees? 5.

Applies to buildings, parking lots, other structures and grounds. Applies to vehicles owned, leased or rented by AU.

Visitors may be barred from campus. 17
18 Enforcement Creating a Culture of Compliance Tobacco-Free Ambassadors, team of faculty, staff, student volunteers who are committed to promoting compliance with the tobacco-free policy. Compliance is achieved through consistent messaging via scripting, and policy and tobacco treatment education. Use of a firm, polite and compassionate approach! It is an ongoing, long-term initiative. Source: Tobacco-Free University of Kentucky
19 Tobacco-Free AU Ambassadors Paid part-time staff and volunteers. Walk through campus with a focus on hot spots ; use scripting with violators. Report violators, monitor report line, follow up in a timely fashion. Collect data (e.g., cigarette butt pick up to evaluate compliance, number of violators, response to scripting). Educate about the policy and treatment resources. Promote visibility and good will! Source: Tobacco-Free University of Kentucky
20 Tobacco-Free AU Ambassadors Example of Scripting: Hello, my name is and I am a(n) (position) at AU. Our campus is completely tobacco-free so I need to ask you to please put out your cigarette. Thank you for respecting our policy! If asked where smoking is permitted: Until the end of November, smoking is permitted (cite locations). Additionally the University does not own the sidewalks and streets that border its campus. Source: Tobacco-Free University of Kentucky
