Planning a Tobacco-Free Campus Initiative
The input you receive from management, union representatives, and employees in the needs assessment will influence many of the decisions you will need to make during the planning phase of your tobacco-free campus (TFC) initiative. The first step in the planning phase is to convene a formal planning committee. This committee will be charged with formulating plans for:
- Developing a TFC Policy
- Offering Comprehensive Tobacco Use Cessation Services.
Convening a Planning Committee
You can use the committee formed during the needs assessment phase or expand this committee to include broader representation. In addition to employees, consider recruiting representatives from the following departments:
- Communications
- Employee benefits
- Facilities and operations
- Health and safety
- Human resources
- Labor unions
- Management
- Occupational health and safety
- Policy/Legal
- Security/Enforcement
