Eckerd's Smoke-Free Campus Initiative, EC Smoke Free, is designed to:

1) improve the health of all community members by limiting exposure to harmful secondhand smoke

2) protect the campus environment from harmful tobacco-related litter.

Free Smoking Cessation Resources

As part of this initiative, Eckerd College will be providing students, faculty, staff, and contracted employees with free smoking cessation resources, including free smoking cessation classes and hypnosis sessions. Contact the Office of Health Promotion or the Office of Human Resources to access these resources.   Smoking cessation "Quit Kits" are available for members of the Eckerd community.  Kits include everything you need to prepare for a successful quit attempt.  Order a kit today to be delivered to your campus office or mailbox by contacting the Office of Health Promotion.  Additional smoking cessation resources are available online. 

A Presidential Announcement was emailed to students, faculty, and staff on December 3, 2009 introducing the accelerated EC Smoke-Free Initiative.
