#tobacco free

To support those looking to quit smoking and vaping, the Hawaiʻi Department of Health recently launched two new campaigns – Escape the Vape Hawaiʻi’s “Toxic Remains” and the Hawaiʻi Tobacco Quitline’s “Rough Day” – to break the cycle of addiction and build a more healthy, nicotine- and tobacco-free Hawaiʻi. 

The process of making all 10 University of Hawaiʻi campuses tobacco-free begins today after new legislation sponsored by the American Cancer Society became law.

Here on Maui, students will be celebrating the event from noon to 5 p.m. on the Great Lawn of the Kahului campus with educational materials, entertainment and sign-waving in support of a Smoke-Free initiative to be voted on Friday at the University’s Academic Senate meeting.
