Campus Support

UCLA is committed to providing cessation support for all interested students, staff and faculty.

Since April 22, 2013, the entire UCLA campus has been a smoke- and tobacco-free environment. The smoke- and tobacco-free policy includes all indoor and outdoor UCLA areas, including our hospitals and health-sciences campuses. It also prohibits other tobacco use, such as vaping or hookah use, and smoked marijuana. For more information, read the full policy here.

For additional information about our smoke- and tobacco-free environment at UCLA Health, please see this webpage

You can contact us at tobaccofree@ucla.edu.
