Smoke- and Tobacco-Free University 2003-2014 Steps Taken, Lessons Learned and Next Steps Paula Staight Director Health Promotion University of Oregon
Campus Health Action on TobaccoCHAT • 2003-05: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Approached campuses in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Goal to work on tobacco control policies. Major accomplishment: • 2004: Eliminated tobacco sales in student union Began work on creating a smoke-free campus
2007-08 • 2007: Environmental Issues Committee recommendations • 2008: Smoke-free Task Force created • Comprised of faculty, staff and a student • Survey sent out to all faculty, staff and students • Two open forums held • Spoke with other campuses who had ‘gone’ before us
November 17, 2010 • Provost Jim Bean announced for President Lariviere: “It’s a great time to be a Duck — and it’s even better to be a tobacco-free Duck. I’m proud that we’re the first in the PAC -10 to do this. I applaud Amelie and our students for their leadership, and I want to thank everyone who helped make this a reality. We’re sending a powerful message today that when you come on this campus, you join a community committed to mind and body. You have now heard it from me: the University of Oregon will be tobacco free.”
2011 • Implementation Committee was created. • Over 40 people from across campus plus three co-chairs. • Three sub-committees: • Marketing and communications • Aug 2011 got permission to work with NIKE • Enforcement • Campus Boundaries
June 2012 • Oregon Administrative Rule # 571-050-0005 filed with the Secretary of State in Oregon. • UO formally became a smoke- and tobacco-free campus September 1, 2012 • Oregon State University became a smoke-free campus the same date
Enforcement • Likely the most asked question. • OAR has some ‘teeth’ • Communication/awareness a factor • Know students want a smoke-free campus if we say we ARE a smoke-free campus
Campus Boundaries • More complicated than it sounds. Where do we have the right to enforce? Consider: • University owned: main campus, Portland, Charleston, etc. • University leased to another • University leased to the UO • Properties adjacent to the UO: Pioneer Cemetery for ex. OAR states university owned and controlled
Cessation Support • Students: have access to free gum and patches • Faculty and Staff: have access to free cessation support and NRT through their insurance and/or through the Oregon Quit Line
2014-15 • Where we are two years out: • litter • compliance/enforcement • marketing/communication
