NCUE already has a smoke-free policy. We hope to protect faculty, staff, and students from smoke hazards on campus, and provide a clean, smoke-free environment for faculty and students. Through the unity of anti-smoking awareness among school staff, students, parents, and the community, we work together to support the school’s total smoking ban with practical actions. Let us stay away from the harm of smoking, implement NCUE’s social responsibility, and achieve good health.

1. Smoke-free policy on campus:

1.1 NCUE responds to the government’s comprehensive smoking ban policy, maintains the physical health of the faculty and staff of the school, and creates a smoke-free, healthy, and fresh campus environment. We are committed to building a smoke-free campus.
1.2 Through National Changhua University of Education’s Key Points of Student Tobacco Hazard Management, a school-based smoke prevention and control work organization was established. Complete smoking cessation education is provided to help smokers successfully quit smoking and stay away from smoking hazards.

2. Features:

2.1 Non-smoking advocacy van and school-wide advocacy: Use the ‘Non-smoking advocacy van’ to rove the campus every day to achieve the effect of calling for the entire school to ban smoking.
2.2 Cooperate with the community to promote smoke-free restaurants: 20 restaurants around the campus support non-smoking and anti-smoking policies and have received the school’s smoke-free restaurant certification to provide more smoke-free food places. The smoke-free environment is extended to outside the campus.
2.3 In order to create a smoke-free atmosphere in the university, “no smoking” signs are displayed to indicate that it is a smoke-free campus, so that all teachers, students, and community members can enjoy a fresh environment on campus.
