Oregon Tobacco-Free College Initiative

   

The American Lung Association of Oregon and its partners have worked 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 was healthier and more accessible learning and work environments for college students, staff, faculty, and visitors.

Although ALAO's work wtih Oregon's community colleges has come to a close, tobacco-free policy information and materials are still available via this website.

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