Rutgers University wants all
campuses to be tobacco free by next year.
President Jonathan Holloway made the news as he announced the
university's new
"Tobacco-Free by 2023" initiative.
Starting Jan. 1, 2023, all
tobacco products will be banned indoors and outdoors.
The new policy updates the existing one that has prohibited smoking
inside and within 30 feet of university-owned and operated buildings.
In addition to e-cigarettes and traditional tobacco products, novel
tobacco products, hookah and smokeless tobacco products, such as chewing
tobacco, will also be prohibited on campus.
It goes for students,
employees, and visitors.
