Survey of Maryland College and University Tobacco Use Policies​

In 2015, in an effort to engage with Maryland college and university administrators on campus tobacco use policies (see Cancer Plan Tobacco-Use Prevention and Cessation Objective 2, Strategy 4), ​​the MCC Tobacco Workgroup developed a survey to collect data about campus tobacco policies, enforcement of those policies, and cessation services and resources available to students, faculty, and staff. The survey was distributed to 44 schools across the state and was availabl​e online from May 27, 2015 through August 21, 2015. 

The results from the survey are as follows: 

• Snapshot of Maryland College Tobacco Policies
  
• Report on Maryland College Tobacco Use Policies and Cessation Resources Data

The workgroup also synthesized best practices for colleges wishing to amend or update their tobacco use policies. Please click on the link below to view the best practices.

• Best Practices for School Tobacco Use Policies
  

​​In addition, the workgroup developed a list of resources on the development of tobacco policies, as well as ce​ssation resources. Please click on the link below to view the resources.
