摘要:Background and Purpose: College and university tobacco control programs have historically neglected
cessation. In 2012, the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) released a Smoke and
Tobacco Free policy that became effective in January 2014. The policy provided for a comprehensive
education and outreach campaign that included resources and referrals for cessation. We sought to
determine whether all University of California (UC) campuses met UCOP standards. Methods: We
reviewed the Smoke & Tobacco Free policies created by UCOP and posted at ten UC campuses, searched
the tobacco free websites of each campus for cessation resources, and contacted tobacco-free task forces.
Results: We found that all UC campuses met the UCOP standard by addressing tobacco cessation in their
campus policies. The provision of cessation services and resources was limited and varied substantially
by campus, and no campuses reported collecting data on the use of cessation programs. Conclusion:
Consistent with concerns that college and university tobacco policies neglect cessation, UC campuses
mentioned tobacco cessation resources and programs but did not provide consistent services. These
campuses also did not report on the use of tobacco cessation resources, making it difficult to assess the
effects of offering different types of cessation programs.
