New findings from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation (ANRF) show that the number of smoke-free and tobacco-free college campuses nearly doubled between 2012 and 2015. In 2012, 774 college and university campuses had smoke-free policies, and of those policies, 562 of them included tobacco as well. In 2017, the number of smoke-free campuses increased to at least 2,082. In addition, 84% of those campuses were tobacco-free, 80% specifically prohibited e-cigarettes, and 41% prohibited hookah (or water pipe) use.
