Ohio State’s no tobacco use policy is already in effect. It started August 1st. But people continue using tobacco products on campus. Dr. Peter Shields, co-chair of the policy’s implementation committee, says the university needed time to publicize the ban.
“We decided because we needed time for awareness and signage and preparation that we wouldn’t actually do much publically until January 1st,” said Shields.
But August 13th there will be a very public presentation; a health and wellness rally for OSU faculty and staff.
“At that rally we will take the advantage to formally say to everyone that we are now entering the awareness campaign and January 1st we expect that people will be following our new policy,” Shields said.
Which means that all tobacco products – even products that mimic tobacco – will be banned from campus. According to the College Of Public Health’s Liz Klein officials want to set the standard of a “tobacco-free” environment at Ohio State.
