In Colorado, tobacco use is most common amongst 18-24 year olds, many of which do so on their college campus. Recently, there has been a national movement for healthier college campuses to reduce the increasing number of young adult tobacco users. According to the American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation, there are 792 campuses nation wide that have banned all types of tobacco. Colorado is lagging behind much of the country having only three colleges enforcing a tobacco free policy. Banning tobacco at Colorado State University will help to improve the overall health of the community including students, faculty, and staff, as well as contribute to CSU's renowned green and sustainable reputation. Ultimately, Rams help Rams and we should care about the health and well-being of each other because in the end, we are all affected in some way by tobacco use on campus. By signing this petition, you are advocating for a healthier community, healthier environment, and healthier you!

Checking the notifications on this was honestly a shock because I really did not think people would be this passionate about clean air on campus but I am just so floored by the energy right now. It feels like this is finally moving beyond just a tiny idea I had in my room and actually becoming a thing people are talking about between classes which is just wild to think about.

Secondhand smoke is dangerous and just because someone else makes the decision to smoke doesn't mean we should all have to suffer for it.

Like other public places, smoking should NOT be allowed on our campus, only in designated areas

This issue is extremely important to improve the health of our campus community. By changing the tobacco policy, CSU will be taking a major leap towards improving its green reputation as well. Going tobacco free will encourage those who currently use tobacco products to take advantage of cessation programs CSU has to offer, and in the end, live a healthier, happier life.
