While current
federal and state laws do not require Ohio schools to be 100%
tobacco-free, schools do have the legal right to make that
choice—and it is a healthy and smart choice to make. In addition to
the health advantages, a 100% tobacco-free policy offers many other
benefits including the opportunity to reinforce school-based tobacco
prevention education and provide a positive example for students. In
fact, having one without the other sends mixed messages and may
negate the positive effects of tobacco prevention education.
So make the right
choice, and practice what you teach: create a healthy, safe, and smart
environment for your students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

UPDATE!
Olentangy School District voted in December 2007 to make their
district 100% tobacco-free! Congratulations! They are the 129th school
district in Ohio to adopt a 100% Tobacco-Free School Campus Policy!
