Since the initiative announcement in 2015, the focus has been educational, supporting and engaging tobacco users to quit. While we have reached thousands throughout the Yale community with our smoking cessation resources, social media, outreach efforts and the video series, “We Quit, So Can You,” our goals remain to create a healthier university community, foster a campus culture in which tobacco users are supported in their quit attempts and become a model for developing a tobacco free campus. To achieve these goals, we have partnered with champions who have committed to supporting the initiative by promoting cessation resources and creating a tobacco free environment within their areas.
Our champions include:
