All Wichita State properties to become tobacco free July 1

Starting Saturday, July 1, Wichita State University and all of its satellite locations and WSU-owned properties will be tobacco free.

The new tobacco-free campus policy -- passed in August by President John Bardo's executive team -- eliminates the use of any tobacco product, including cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookah and electronic cigarettes.

Wichita State joins more than 1,100 college campuses in the United States that are tobacco free. Go to http://www.wichita.edu/j/?5650 for more information.
