The University of Toronto’s Smoke-Free Policy is now in effect. The University recognizes that smoking is a personal decision, and for some, an addiction with which they struggle. As we adapt to our smoke-free campuses, the University is committed to providing smoking cessation programs to members of our community who seek them.

As a reminder we are pleased to offer an in-person information session at our St. George campus for faculty and staff who want to quit smoking, available in partnership with the University’s Employee and Family Assistance Program.  There is still time to register for our March session!
