SPOKANE — Tobacco and nicotine products may be banned from the sprawling Washington State University campus in Pullman.
The Board of Regents will vote Friday on the proposed ban, which would make WSU one of more than 1,100 tobacco free campuses in the nation.
Under the proposed ban, smokers would have to leave campus or sit in their cars to smoke, chew or use any products that contain nicotine.
Washington State University’s Spokane campus banned tobacco use in 2012, and WSU Vancouver followed in 2013. The WSU Tri-Cities campus is also considering a ban.
There are already more than a dozen tobacco-free campuses in Washington, including Clark College, Green River Community College, Lower Columbia College, Pacific Lutheran University, Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences, Walla Walla Community College, and Wenatchee Valley College.
