June 2010 Tobacco Prevention Report
Hunter Caraway-Tobacco Prevention Coordinator
Published on May 6, 2010
Ozarka College has adopted a policy to become a tobacco-free institution, including buildings, grounds and parking lots. The policy specifically states that no tobacco products of any type may be used, carried or distributed in any buildings, parking areas, grounds, facilities, vehicles or streets. (BPPM 2.41)
This policy was adopted after the State of Arkansas passed The Clean Indoor Air Act (Act 8 of 2006) which prohibits smoking in worksites and in public places to protect employees and the public from secondhand smoke. Arkansas was the seventeenth state in the nation to pass this type of smoke-free workplace act.
Ozarka will begin strictly enforcing the policy on June 1, 2010 and students, faculty and staff are expected not to use tobacco while on the grounds of Ozarka College. Violation of this policy will result in warnings and repeated violation could result in disciplinary action.
Any questions regarding the tobacco-free campus policy should be addressed to the Vice President of Student Services office at 870-368-7371.
