Oregon Tobacco-Free College Initiative

   

The American Lung Association of Oregon and its partners are working with community colleges statewide to address tobacco use and secondhand smoke on campus through comprehensive tobacco-free policy, education, and cessation support. The goal of this initiative is healthier and more accessible learning and work environments for college students, staff, faculty, and visitors.

Visit our new website www.tobaccofreecollege.org for resources for college policymakers and for students, staff, and the public.
