School Policies

According to The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, "A national survey in 2013 found that 4.5 percent of eighth graders, 9.1 percent of tenth graders, and 16.3 percent of twelfth graders had smoked in the past month. Unfortunately, this problem can begin long before high school or even junior high."

The model tobacco-free school campus policy effectively prevents and reduces youth tobacco use among their students. The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids has good information of how school can help kids stay tobacco free. Learn more.

Alabama Public School System Tobacco Policies

The State of Alabama, State Board of Education revised the Administrative Code on Public School Governance that "effective with the 1995-1996 school year and thereafter, local boards of education must adopt a uniform policy prohibiting the use to tobacco products on school property and prescribing specific penalties for violation this policy."

In 2011, 132 Alabama Public School systems were evaluated to identify schools without a tobacco dress code policy. A school dress code includes a tobacco dress code prohibits students from wearing clothing with pictures, writing, and/or symbols promoting the use of tobacco. The 2011 evaluation found that 73% of surveyed schools do not allow tobacco related clothing articles having either have a tobacco dress code or uniform policy. View information on the evaluation project.
