In honor of Kick Butts Day on Wednesday, March 20, the Health & Wellness Hub is taking the opportunity to remind the campus community of UND’s tobacco-free campus policy and the quit tobacco resources. Kick Butts Day, sponsored by the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, is an annual event to raise awareness about tobacco use, the leading cause of preventable death and disease in America.

Compliance with UND’s tobacco-free campus policy is the responsibility and right of all students, staff, and faculty members. Please visit UND.edu/tobaccofree for more information.
