UCSmokeandTobaccoFree(STF)PolicyImplementation

UCDavis joined the rest of theUC campuses in going 100% smoke and tobacco free onJanuary 1st, 2014. Enforcement remains educational and members of the campuscommunityrelyonvoluntarycompliance.Policyimplementationhasremainedcommittedto educating our community about the policy and letting tobacco users knows aboutcampusresourcesforquitting.TheUCDaviscampuscommunityiscomprisedofculturallyand ethnically diverse groups of people from all over the world including faculty, staff,students, visitors, vendors and volunteers. This has presented an ongoing and uniquestrugglewithregard tocompliancewith thepolicy.Oneof themostpressing issueswiththepolicyisthatofflagrantviolators,andasthereisnoconcreteenforcementstructureinplace,thereisnowayofholdingpeopleaccountableforviolatingthepolicy.

Therehavebeenanumberofsuccesseswiththepolicyoverthepast2years,including:lessvisiblesmokingoncampus;high levelsof support for thepolicyamongstudents, faculty,and staff; creation of educational materials to support smoke and tobacco freeenvironments and quit efforts; and continued collaborationwith other partners, such astheCaliforniaSmokers’Helplineandlocalcountyhealthagencies.

However, a number of challenges persist including: continued presence of smoking bysomeandtobacco‐relatedlitteroncampusandperimeter,whichhavebecome“hotspots;”continued smoking by some populations with underlying higher tobacco use, such asinternational students; inconsistent messaging and information about the policy and
