title: Implementing and securing a tobacco free campus.
abstract: Predictions are that the time is not far off when hospitals will be completely tobacco free, removing smoking kiosks and abolishing designated smoking areas. Achieving this goal will not be easy and will require support from the top down, dedicated program participants, and well-formulated plans and their implementation, according to the author, who describes the experiences of a medical center in a major tobacco producing state in becoming tobacco free.
