A health and wellness event honoring the Great American Smokeout will be celebrated at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> campus from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 15, 2018, in the Campus Center<\/a> Courtyard. There will be games and prizes, free giveaways, and distribution of health education and smoking cessation information.<\/p>\n

In addition, the American Cancer Society<\/a> has just awarded UH<\/abbr> Mānoa a $20,000 Tobacco-free Generation Campus Initiative grant to implement state law that designates all 10 UH<\/abbr> System campuses<\/a> as tobacco-free areas<\/a> that prohibit smoking, including the use of electronic smoking devices.<\/p>\n

The grant will be administered over 18 months from November 1, 2018, to April 30, 2020. Funding will be used for the design and production of tobacco-free educational materials and for hosting several tobacco control stakeholder meetings and events.<\/p>\n

The state Department of Health has also provided grant funds to help UH<\/abbr> with implementation of its Tobacco-Free Campus Initiative.<\/p>\n

The tobacco-free UH<\/abbr> law was passed during the 2018 legislative session due to efforts by the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>-Pacific staff, volunteers and community advocates, including UH<\/abbr> stakeholders. The law took effect on July 10, 2018. The law covers, but is not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, vaping apparatus, chewing tobacco and pipes.<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> joins more than 2,000 universities and colleges across the country in creating healthier environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
