UNLV Implements Smoke-Free Campus Policy from August

Starting this month, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has officially implemented a smoke-free campus policy.

The smoke-free policy at UNLV officially went into effect on August 15th. Prior to this, the University of Nevada, Reno and other campuses across the country had also implemented similar policies with the goal of creating a healthier environment on campus.

Officials have reported a positive response to the new guidelines as students and staff return to campus. A tobacco and cannabis-free policy means that individuals are prohibited from inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any ignited or heated tobacco or cannabis products on campus.

The director of the public health department at UNLV announced that the decision to become a smoke-free campus has been in the works for quite some time. Sean, the dean of the public health school, stated: "We have all of these health, medical, dental, and public health schools, and we want to promote healthy behaviors." "When we try to improve people's health and care, we don't want to see students smoking nearby.

The policy applies to all campuses of UNLV as well as any other buildings or facilities under UNLV control.

Sean stated that appropriate measures will be taken to deal with those who do not adhere to the guidelines, including providing written guidance or requiring them to attend educational courses on the dangers of smoking.
