The purpose of the policy was to create a health-supporting community for everyone \u0026mdash; tobacco-users and non-users alike. The policy defines \u0026quot;Tobacco Products\u0026quot; as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, all forms of smokeless tobacco, clove cigarettes and any other smoking devices that use tobacco such as hookahs or simulate the use of tobacco such as electronic cigarettes and vaporizers. This policy still applies to all students, staff, faculty, vendors, and visitors (as long as they are on a USG campus).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStudents interested in tobacco cessation can schedule an appointment in the Stamps Health Services primary care clinic.
