On July 1, 2009, all NAIT campuses became smoke free.

This means that smoking is prohibited in the Institute’s buildings, vehicles, or on any NAIT property. Campus boundaries are outlined in the following documents:

  • Patricia Campus (436K pdf)
  • St. Albert (589K pdf)

The Board of Governors approved the new smoke-free campus policy. The decision was made out of the desire for a healthy, safe, clean and respectful learning and work environment for staff, students and visitors together with the expressed concerns of many NAIT constituents.

The Occupational Health and Safety department continues to offer smoking reduction and educational awareness programs to help faculty and staff who wish to stop smoking or reduce their tobacco consumption.

Tips for Abstaining

"I've been smoking for 39 years.

Smokers who want to abstain while on campus or quit totally can try Champix or just keep busy. Go for a walk when you feel like smoking. Brush your teeth. Drink lots of water.

I quit smoking for 2 months in Jan. 2008, but started again - it is very difficult to quit. I would like to quit smoking completely because of the monetary and personal cost - I lost my father to lung cancer."
