Tobacco Public Policy NewsYOUTH & TOBACCO NEWS - National Association of State Boards of Education Stresses Importance of Tobacco-Free School PoliciesOctober 5 , 2007 The National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) recently released a new school health policy guide, Policies to Prevent Tobacco Use, in which it urges state boards of education to make schools completely tobacco-free environments. The NASBE recommendation asks that the use of tobacco is strictly prohibited by anyone on school grounds or at school-related activities. NASBE also asks schools to prohibit all tobacco-related promotions and institute educational prevention programs. “Educational leaders at every level have a moral obligation and an educational imperative to eliminate every student’s exposure to tobacco in the school setting,” said NASBE Executive Director Brenda Welburn. |
