FHSU UNIVERSITY RELATIONS AND MARKETING<\/p>\n

HAYS, Kan. \u2013 As of July 1, 2016, Fort Hays State University will enforce a tobacco-free campus, prohibiting the use of all tobacco products on all areas of campus.<\/p>\n

FDA-approved smoking cessation products, such as nicotine patches or gum, are excluded from the ban. Smoking is currently allowed in specified FHSU parking lots.<\/p>\n

The policy will operate on a self-enforced basis, and violators will not be fined.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t trying to make tobacco use illegal,\u201d said Robert Duffy, coordinator of the Drug and Alcohol Wellness Network. \u201cWe simply don\u2019t want it on our campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want the FHSU community to hold itself accountable and remind policy violators that use on campus is prohibited,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
