The Broward College Board of Trustees has approved a policy to make the college a tobacco and smoke free campus.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 24, smoking or use of tobacco products, objects or devices, including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, electronic cigars or smokeless tobacco products will be prohibited on all Broward College campuses and centers.
In a statement released by the college, Brenda Bordogna, Broward College's employee wellness program manager said, "Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in this country. Adopting a tobacco and smoke-free policy is our commitment as an institution of higher education to provide a safe and healthy environment for the college community to learn, work and visit," she said.

The ban includes spaces inside buildings, administrative facilities or anywhere on campus grounds, such as sidewalks, athletic fields and parking lots or garages.
To help staff and students through the transition, onsite tobacco cessation programs will be offered through a partnership with Nova Southeastern University's Area Health Education Centers program, which will train and use Broward College's RN-BSN nursing students as smoking cessation facilitators.
