Tobacco-free policy at UHCL effective Aug. 1

In keeping with prevailing research regarding the use of tobacco in public places, the University of Houston-Clear Lake moved to implement a campus-wide tobacco-free policy effective Aug. 1.

The university had restricted smoking to certain areas for several years, but all the while considered options to make the campus tobacco-free. The decision to go tobacco-free was made after students, faculty and staff conveyed support for the initiative in a 2017 survey.

The university is posting signs and door stickers around campus to reinforce the message to faculty, staff and students and to inform community members of the change in policy.
