Tobacco Free Campus Policy

Out of respect for the health of others and the environment, Cleveland State University became a tobacco free campus in the Fall of 2013. All forms of tobacco usage are prohibited anywhere on the campus grounds and facilities.

The Tobacco Free Campus policy, FAQs about our policy, and free or low-cost tobacco cessation support services to help employees and students quit are available on the University website at csuohio.edu/tobaccofree. The Tobacco Free Campus Policy Training, Tobacco Free Campus Leader/Supervisor Toolkit, Tobacco Free Campus policy hot card, and online reporting and violation form are available under the words “Help Us Comply” along the left side of the website. We encourage all faculty, staff and students to complete the training to better understand where individuals can smoke and where they cannot, as well as to help us increase the respect and compliance of the policy.

Faculty and Staff can earn VikeHealth Points through CSU’s VikeHealth & Well-Being Program for being tobacco free or for completing a tobacco cessation program.

For more details, go to myCSU and click on “VikeHealth & Well-Being” under “For Faculty and Staff” or visit the VikeHealth & Well-Being page on the myCSU Human Resources Benefits website, or email Human Resources at benefits@csuohio.edu.
