Students Against Smoking
- Mission: Students
Against Smoking wants to represent the rights of the non-smoker. It
is the right of the non-smoker to breathe clean air, free
of harmful carcinogens that are contained within cigarette
smoke. Secondly, they want to
decrease the overall amount of smoking among students, faculty,
and staff at John Carroll University.
- What Progress has been made: The
group has met as a committee for almost two years under the
guidance of Rose Bentivegna. They have gained support
from all of the Vice Presidents, Student Union, and the University
Council. They have been successful in getting at least
one entrance of every building on campus to be smoke free. Click
the following link to see the location of the entrances.
- Tobacco Awareness: November will be "smoke-out" month,
in which there will be a passive programming campaign in
the Atrium of the Student Center. Students Against
Smoking and the Student Health Center will be encouraging
students to quit smoking. The Health Center will direct
smokers to a free program offered by the American Cancer
Society, where they will learn strategies to quit smoking.
- How do I get Involved?: Contact
the health center by telephone at (216) 397-4349 or by e-mail
