Adams State University is a smoke-free campus following an Executive Order by the Colorado governor’s office that banned the use and sale of tobacco products, vaping products and e-cigarettes on state grounds.
Adams State’s policy bans smoking both inside buildings and outside buildings, leaving the entire campus grounds smoke-free.
For the purposes of this policy, smoking is defined as the use of smoke-producing tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, mini-cigars, bidis, hookah, pipes, kreteks (also called clove cigarettes), as well as marijuana cigarettes, and bongs. Tobacco use is defined as the use of any tobacco product including any lighted tobacco product, or the use of any type of smokeless tobacco, including electronic cigarettes and chewing tobacco, such as spit tobacco, snuff, and other smokeless products. E-Cigarette use or Vaping is defined by the use of electronic smoking devices or electronic nicotine delivery systems. FDA-approved cessation aids, such as nicotine patches and gum, are not included in this category.
The use of any such products by students, faculty, staff, guests, and contractors is prohibited on All properties owned or leased by Adams State.
Several departments on campus have a smoking cessation pack for individuals desiring to kick the habit. The free packs can be found in the Offices of Human Resources, Student Affairs, Housing and Resident Life, and the Adams State Police Department.
