The American College Health Association (ACHA), which adopted a Position Statement on Tobacco in September 2009, is in part responsible for a recent uptick in campuses going smoke free, according to no-smoke.org.
Their efforts to promote tobacco-free environments have led to “substantial reductions in the number of people who smoke, the amount of tobacco products consumed, and the number of people exposed to environmental tobacco hazards.”
Other HBCUs to adopt the policy include Edward Waters College, Central State University, Bennett College, Huston–Tillotson University, Paul Quinn College and the Morehouse School of Medicine.
