LIU
is committed to providing its students, employees, and visitors with a safe and
healthy environment as well as aggressively promoting the values of reason and ethics at the
core of higher education. In light of these commitments and the findings of the
U.S. Surgeon General that tobacco use and exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke
are significant health hazards, LIU Brooklyn, after many months of discussion
and outreach, has established the following tobacco-free policy, effective
January 1, 2016.
The
use of any form of tobacco is prohibited anywhere on the property of the LIU
Brooklyn campus, including all buildings, private offices, open park areas and
green space, University vehicles, playing fields, dormitories, locker rooms,
loading docks, storage areas, terraces and garages. This policy covers the use
of all tobacco products including, but not limited to, cigarette and cigar
smoking, chewing and smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes, and powdered tobacco.
Further, all tobacco promotions, advertising, marketing, sponsorship of events
or individuals and distribution are prohibited from campus. This policy applies
to anyone who uses the LIU Brooklyn campus, including employees, students, and
visitors.
For
those who would like to participate in on-campus activities to promote a
smoke-free campus, please contact Carole Griffiths (cgriff@liu.edu)
or Jolanta Kruszelnicka (Jolanta.Kruszelnicka@liu.edu).
