Problem/Objective: Research indicates that students begin to smoke after they come to campus. Dillard University has recently embarked on a Smoke-Free Campus Initiative. The purpose of this study was to assess student's opinion of tobacco use, control policies, and media exposure. Methods: Source data came from campus tobacco use survey completed by incoming freshmen students and returning students during Fall 2006. The questionnaire assessed student's tobacco use, opinion of tobacco control policies, media exposure and demographic characterestics. Statistical analyses was done using SPSS. Results: A total of 274 students (56.6% freshmen, 43.4% returning) aged 18-24 years, 93% African-Americans, and 73% women responded to several tobacco control related questions. Findings showed that about 15% are current smokers; approximately two-third of the students were not aware of campus smoking policy; when asked if any benefit of quitting after smoking for 20 years one third of the freshmen said none, and another third said don't know; while a little more than 80% agree that smoking should be prohibited during indoor sporting events, and in all campus dormitories, support decreases for campus owned apts and campus outdoor events to 75% and 62% respectively; when asked about their exposure to not smoking ads on tv, radio or billboards in past seven days approximately half said no. Conclusions: While the finding is encouraging to start developing a comprehensive smoke-free campus program the survey indicated that much promotional, educational and prevention work is needed.
