College Smoking Policies and Smoking Cessation Programs: Results of a Survey of College Health Center Directors.

Wechsler, Henry; Kelley, Kathleen; Seibring, Mark; Kuo, Meichun; Rigotti, Nancy A.

Journal of American College Health, v49 n5 p205-12 Mar 2001

Surveyed college health center directors about policies addressing smoking and availability of smoking cessation programs. Though 85 percent considered students' smoking a problem, only 81 percent of colleges prohibited smoking in all public areas, and only 27 percent banned smoking in all indoor areas. Though over half of the schools offered smoking cessation programs, demand for existing programs was low. (SM)
