Tobacco-Free Policy Policy FAQs Smoking Cessation Programs

Dear Campus Community, Westchester Community College is proud to announce our tobacco-free campus initiative, effective January 1, 2012. In doing so, we are joining all CUNY colleges and more than 360 U.S. colleges and universities in providing a tobacco-free campus.  In enacting this initiative, WCC is supporting a culture of respect for all members of the campus community, visitors, the environment, and institutional sustainability efforts. We also hope to set an example that will encourage the WCC community to embrace a spirit of health and wellness. -President’s Advisory Committee for a Tobacco-Free Campus
