Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to present the second impact report of the UT System Eliminate Tobacco Use Initiative. This initiative grew out of a desire to lead and influence statewide and national tobacco control efforts. After focusing our attention inward during the first year, we invited other public and private universities to join our efforts towards creating a tobacco-free culture.
The purpose of this report is to describe the accomplishments and impact of the initiative in its second year of operation. We provide details of each institution’s tobacco-free policies, educational activities and cessation services. We also highlight innovative strategies that can be shared among institutions of higher education to accelerate tobacco control efforts state-wide and nationally.
“The human suffering and financial costs due to the continued use of tobacco are undeniable. Yet, according to the latest statistics, 4.69* million Texas residents continue to smoke or use other forms of tobacco.”
“The human suffering and financial costs due to the continued use of tobacco are undeniable. Yet, according to the latest statistics, 4.69* million Texas residents continue to smoke or use other forms of tobacco.”
We applaud all the dedicated professionals within the UT System who are working together with our national, state and community partners to eliminate tobacco use. Our hope is that the progress we document in this report will highlight the ability of a large university system to come together with partners to improve its tobacco control actions, and to inspire others to do the same in order to truly reduce the burden of tobacco at all levels.
Thank you for fostering respectful, healthy and tobacco-free environments, and for your commitment to improving the health and well-being of all.

POLICY: TEST
Evidence-based policies are the driver for all tobacco control activities in the Eliminate Tobacco Use Initiative. Existing policy measures (such as smoke-free indoor workplace policies and tobacco-free campus property policies) prove that population-based policy interventions can shape behavior to reduce tobacco use, ultimately impacting morbidity and mortality.
