How was the decision made to go tobacco-free?
A Task Force was appointed by CPCC administration last spring. The Task Force included representatives from all six campuses, the Student Government Association, all levels of College employees, and at least 5 people who currently use tobacco. The Task Force was charged with studying tobacco policies at other colleges and universities, surveying our students and employees about tobacco use, and developing recommendations about policy changes. The Task Force decided to recommend a 100% tobacco-free college policy, which was reviewed and supported by top administration. The CPCC Board of Trustees approved the tobacco-free policy on September 2, 2009.
