Suggestions for Policy Development Implementation and Enforcement

“....The District is dedicated to providing a healthy,comfortable, and educationally productive environmentfor students, staff members, and visitors.” Quoted fromASBA model tobacco use policy.

IntroductionHistorically, tobacco use has been viewed as a “right ofpassage”; a socially acceptable statement of adulthood.During World War II, approximately 50% of the adultpopulation smoked. Public attitude began changing, however,when the first Surgeon General's report on tobacco waspublished in 1964. Because of the educational emphasis onthe health hazards of tobacco, use among adults and childrenwas reduced for the first time in American history. This trendcontinued for close to 20 years until the late 1980's whenadult tobacco use “bottomed out” at 24.5% (Centers forDisease Control and Prevention, Office on Smoking andHealth, National Health Interview Survey, 1993). During thattime, adolescent tobacco use remained within approximately2% of adult usage. Then, for reasons still under debate,adolescent tobacco use began to rise. Among high schoolstudents, smoking increased to 34.8% in 1995 (Centers forDisease Control, Tobacco Use and Usual Source ofCigarettes Among High School Students - United States,1995, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, May 1996).

The health hazards associated with tobacco are staggering.More deaths can be attributed to tobacco use than to alcoholuse, illicit drug use, suicide, fires, homicide, and AIDS

combined (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and HealthPromotion, Office on Smoking and Health, State TobaccoControl Highlights, 1999) and costs our country over $97.2billion in health care and lost productivity annually (AmericanLung Association, Smoking Policies in the Workplace,September, 1998). Studies indicate that children exposedto secondhand smoke have increased incidences of earinfections, asthma, childhood leukemia, and other seriouschildhood ailments.

Adolescent tobacco use affects public schools on manydifferent levels, including disciplinary problems, attendance,health concerns, legalities, funding, and gateway drug issues.In situations where further drug use occurs, it is typicallysequential: from use of tobacco or alcohol, to marijuana, toother illicit drugs or prescription psychoactive drugs(Yamaguchi, K.& Kandel, D., Patterns of drug use fromadolescence to young adulthood, II. Sequences ofprogression, American Journal of Public Health, 1984).Recent studies of drug abuse prevention programs suggestthat approaches effective in preventing tobacco use can alsobe effective in preventing the use of alcohol and other drugs(Botvin, G.J., & Botvin, E.M., School-based and CommunityBased Prevention Approaches, 1992).

"Full Spectrum: A Guide for Tobacco Free Schools in Arizona"provides assistance to schools and those working with schoolsin establishing and supporting tobacco free policies. The firstedition of "Full Spectrum" was released in 1998. The purposeof this second edition is to provide updated information,including the new Arizona law prohibiting use and possessionof tobacco products on all school campuses, and to providerevised policy information reflecting the new law.

Benefits of Tobacco-Free School Policies

It is important that tobacco-free policies be comprehensiveand specific in order to be effective. Policies that areconsistently enforced and that emphasize education ratherthan punishment can:

• change norms regarding tobacco use,

• provide positive adult role models for students,

• reinforce and support existing prevention efforts,

• create a healthier working and learning environment forstaff and students by eliminating environmental tobaccosmoke,

• provide an opportunity for early intervention for studentsdemonstrating at-risk behavior,

• and provide an opportunity for intervention for studentswith concurrent tobacco/other health risk behavior.

The Arizona Department of Education ComprehensiveHealth Unit, the Arizona Tobacco Information Network andthe Arizona Department of Health Services TobaccoEducation and Prevention Program (TEPP) are workingtogether to provide Arizona schools with needed assistanceand support.

This document provides:1. Suggestions for strengthening and clarifying district

policies.

2. Recommendations for implementation and enforcementof policies.

3. Identification of available state, local and nationalresources.

Strengthening Current Policies

In order to implement the Full Spectrum: A Guide forTobacco-Free Schools in Arizona program, the followingchanges to district policies are recommended:

1. Every reference to “smoking” should be changedto “smoking/tobacco use, distribution andpossession” to avoid any confusion that all forms of

tobacco use are restricted, especially when only aportion of the policy is being quoted. For the sakeof clarification, it is also important to establish thatany distribution and possession of tobacco will beconsidered an equal offense, resulting in the samedisciplinary actions.

2. School district superintendents should establishenforcement procedures and insert them directly intotheir policy manual. The Arizona Department ofEducation Comprehensive Health Unit staff isavailable to assist district supervisors in identifyingappropriate enforcement guidelines for their district(see Attachment II for suggestions).

3. Once a policy has been established, conductinservice with school administrators and appropriatestaff to review the policy and implementationprocedures. Refer to Attachment V for a listing ofservices available in your area.

4. Finally, a statement restricting all items (clothing,backpacks, etc.) promoting tobacco products shouldbe included in the dress code portion of the policymanual.

Draft verbiage reflecting these recommendations is includedin this document (see Attachment II). Also provided is a listof seven recommended strategies for implementing tobacco-free schools, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control(Attachment IV). For reference purposes, we have alsoincluded a summary of two surveys released by the ArizonaTobacco Information Network and the Arizona Departmentof Education (see Attachment VI).

Suspension vs. Education

All school districts should consider an in-house detentionprogram that includes a tobacco education element. Not onlyis this an opportunity to educate and support the student,but, also, experience indicates that schools which supportthese types of programs have higher attendance in subsequentvoluntary cessation programs. If no appropriate in-schooldetention program is available, the Arizona Smokers' Helpline(800-556-6222) provides a free alternative to a suspensionprogram through their phone-based “Youth DiversionProgram.” The Helpline will work with schools to provideconfirmation of students' participation in this program.

It is important to note that tobacco use is, in most cases, anaddictive disease, not merely a discipline problem. It will bethe addicted student that will most likely be the repeatoffender. Offering a voluntary in-school cessation programis an excellent way of providing the student with appropriateoptions. When an in-school program is not available, theschool should provide students and their parents with a listof available community support services. This informationcan usually be obtained from the local health departmentand the Arizona Smokers' Helpline. If no local services areavailable, the school can provide information regarding thestatewide Arizona Smokers' Helpline, (800) 556-6222,which provides counseling by phone. Informing the schoolcounselor of the student's decision to participate in a cessationprogram, and providing that counselor with the contactinformation contained in Attachment V, would be an effectiveway to provide continued support for the student.

Parental involvement is imperative for an effective programto reduce tobacco use. Many parents of tobacco users claimto be at a loss in dealing with their child's habit. Providing

access to available resources and services can assist parentsin addressing this issue with their child.

Parents are the primary role models for their children. Parentsthat provide tobacco products for their children need to beincluded in accessing educational material about the healthrisks of adolescent tobacco use. Parents and family membersneed to know that the distribution of tobacco products tominors, as well as the possession of tobacco products byminors, is illegal (see Attachment III).

Some community based prevention projects have developedguidelines that encourage parental involvement by havingparents attend counseling/cessation services with their childor by having parents meet with school administration. Asample of such involvement is presented in Attachment II.

Providing Educational and Support Services:Utilizing Available Resources

Another important element in reducing tobacco use andexposure is to provide educational materials to Arizonaschool teachers (as outlined in the Educational Code A.R.S.15-712 - see Attachment III). The 1997-1998 ArizonaTobacco Information Network School Tobacco PolicySurvey Report indicated that 522 schools (35%) verify thatsome or all of their teachers or staff received training intobacco use prevention; and 334 (22%) indicated thattraining was received in tobacco use cessation. Please notethat these figures reflect the percentage of schools, not staff,that have received some intervention or educational training.These figures indicate that although tobacco curriculum isavailable through various state and national organizations forvirtually every school subject (history, economics, politics,etc.), they are not being fully utilized by schools.

Continuing the emphasis on tobacco education through theupper grades can assist students in making educateddecisions and resisting peer pressure while they remain up-to-date on health information regarding tobacco.

Curriculum appropriate to age and subject is available throughcounty local projects and the Arizona Tobacco InformationNetwork/APRC (1-800-432-2772). Districts areencouraged to contact these agencies for technical assistanceand training (see Attachment V).

On and Off Campus Activities

Because of the passage of A.R.S. 36-798.03, it is importantto establish that tobacco use by all staff, administration,students, parents and visitors is restricted at all schoolsponsored activities, even when held off the school grounds.This includes field trips, after school activities, sporting events,and school sponsored work study programs. During a schoolsponsored event or game, an announcement stating that thisevent is to be tobacco-free should be provided at thebeginning and possibly as a reminder during half-time. If theevent is held on school grounds, further clarification that theentire grounds (including the parking lot and restrooms) aredeclared a tobacco-free zone is suggested.

Employers of youth participating in work site or volunteerprograms should be notified of the District policy and thatthe policy extends to students whether on or off campus,while participating in school sponsored activities. Employersshould be provided with a copy of the district policy forreference.

Assigning a Designated Enforcement Officer

Each school should identify an “enforcement officer.”According to the Arizona Tobacco Information NetworkSchool Tobacco Policy Survey Report (Attachment VI),“compliance monitoring and enforcement of tobacco-usepolicy were most frequently designated as a responsibility ofschool administrators,” although a teacher, the school nurse,or an appropriate student group (i.e., teen court) can beassigned this duty. It would be the responsibility of thatperson(s) to serve as a liaison for all community and in-schoolprograms at their school. Enforcement officers would needto maintain a working knowledge of state and federal lawand the policy and implementation strategies used within theschool. They should meet periodically with the districtsuperintendent, school board or designated districtadministrator to provide updates as to the progress of theirschool's tobacco policy enforcement.

Involving Law Enforcement

Establishing support from local law enforcement (police/sheriff) is crucial. With the passage of A.R.S. 36-798.03,possession and use of tobacco by students and adults onschool campuses and at school sponsored activities is againstthe law. It is suggested that an agreement be establishedwith the appropriate legal organization (including lawenforcement personnel and court judges) that citations willbe issued to repeat offenders. It is recommended that thismeasure be used only after all other avenues have beenexhausted.

Communicating the Rules

Tobacco-free signs need to be posted not only withinbuildings, but outside, where visitors and parents will easilynote the policy. Visible signage BEFORE the visitor entersschool property (i.e., all parking entrances) will help toestablish and fortify the school's commitment to a tobacco-free environment.

The Arizona Tobacco Education and Prevention Program,in cooperation with the Arizona Department of Educationand the Arizona Department of Health Services, havedeveloped appropriate signage for Arizona school buildingsand parking lot entrances. Bulk purchase of these signs greatlyreduces their individual costs. Small schools districts and/orprivate schools have worked with other schools in their areasto qualify for these reduced prices (see the Tobacco-FreeSchools Sign Order Form on the last page of this manual).

Rule Notification

These policies need to be communicated to the students,teachers and staff at least once a year and should be coveredin student and employee handbooks. A special effort shouldbe made to inform students age 18 or older that tobaccopossession is illegal for all ages on school property.Additionally, notification should be sent to all parents andlegal guardians at the beginning of each school year (or whenstudents register for school). Along with any assigneddisciplinary actions, students caught possessing, distributing,or using tobacco products should be required to review therules. Any correspondence sent to their parents or legalguardians should have a copy of the policy and A.R.S.36.798.03 attached (see Attachment III for a copy of thislaw).

As mentioned previously, all school activities attended byparents or visitors should begin with an announcement statingthat this activity is tobacco-free. A notification can be includedin any distributed program. Some schools have developed asimple business card size notification that is passed out atthe entrance gates.

It is important that all public or private entities utilizing schoolbuildings for their own activities (i.e., church services, squaredancing, etc.) be notified that Arizona law requires that thebuilding and campus must be kept tobacco-free at all times.If schools utilize contracts with outside entities, place thisnotification in the contract and have the organization initialtheir agreement to abide by this law.

Schools as a Workplace:Enforcing Tobacco-Free Schools With Employees

It is just as important to outline the rules and expectations ofa tobacco-free school policy as it applies to schoolemployees. The superintendent, district school board, orhuman resources department should establish both disciplinaryactions and appropriate avenues for reporting infractions.These rules should be included in the employee handbook(see Attachment I). Districts are also advised to include“tobacco” in their list of restricted substances under theirdrug free work place policies.

The same level of concern and support awarded to studentsshould be offered to district employees. Most smokers wantto quit, but nicotine is a highly addictive substance. It isrecommended that the school district assist employees whoare interested in quitting by referral to, and/or financialassistance in, a district approved cessation program. Freeadult cessation counseling is also available via the ArizonaSmokers' Helpline (800-556-6222).

Instituting appropriate work site policy procedures andemployee support and education programs are outlined in acompanion manual, A Good Day's Work: A Guide ForTobacco-Free Work Sites in Arizona. Ordering informationis included at the back of this manual.

Policy Review

School districts should set up a yearly review of theirtobacco-free school policies, their implementation, theirenforcement guidelines, their educational training, and theirsupport programs.

Sample Tobacco-Free Procedureswith Suggested Revisions and

Enforcement StrategiesSample Wording Reflecting Suggested Revisions

(for use in policy manual and school handbooks):

Support Statement:

The district is dedicated to providing a healthy,comfortable, and educationally productive environmentfor students, staff members, and visitors. The districtrecognizes that smoking/tobacco use is addictive anddangerous and is committed to providing all studentsand employees with information and guidance in makinghealthy choices by instituting support programs andeducational opportunities within the schools.

Definition:

The Surgeon General of the United States has concludedthat (1) involuntary smoking is a cause of disease,including lung cancer in healthy nonsmokers; and (2)the simple separation of smokers and nonsmokers withinthe same air space may reduce, but does not eliminate,the exposure of nonsmokers to environmental tobaccosmoke. The Governing Board is concerned about thehealth of its employees and students.

In light of these facts, the district shall be entirely smoke/tobacco-free. Smoking/tobacco use, the distribution oftobacco products and possession of any tobacco productsor tobacco control devices by students, staff,administration and visitors (i.e., pipes, lighters, etc.) willbe strictly prohibited in all district buildings, on all districtgrounds, in all district vehicles and at school-sponsoredactivities.

Statement to be included in the dress code section ofthe district policy manual should read:

Also included in the dress code policy is a restrictionon all clothing and materials that promote tobacco(i.e., backpacks, caps, shirts, keychains, etc.)

Signage Statement:

Signs declaring all school property as a tobacco-free zonewill be posted in all district buildings and vehicles. Signswill also be posted at all vehicular entrances to schoolgrounds.

Penalty procedures to be listed in the conduct sectionof the policy manual:

(This section is an example of possible enforcementprocedures. School districts are encouraged to utilize availablecommunity resources in determining the best course of actionfor their schools.)

The penalty for possession or use of tobacco or similarproducts by students is as follows:

• First offense: Student will be assigned to in-housedetention (note: this can be an established tobaccoeducation program, if provided within the school;participation in one of the programs offered throughthe Arizona Smokers’ Helpline; or, if no program isavailable, a research assignment to complete duringdetention.)

A copy of the school’s tobacco-free policy will beshared with the student and his or her parents orlegal guardian along with a list of available supportprograms for the student. The parents or legalguardian will be informed if they are requested toparticipate in any portion of the tobacco educationprogram. Both the student and his or her parents orlegal guardian will provide written confirmation thatthey were informed of the school policy.

ATTACHMENT VI

SummaryArizona Tobacco Information NetworkSchool Tobacco Policy Survey Report

1997-1998

The Arizona Cancer Center of the University of Arizona conducteda survey of public schools in Arizona (including alternative andcharter schools) to collect information about their tobacco policies.Of the 1403 schools in Arizona, 1355 participated in the survey. Thesurvey was conducted by telephone during the 1997-1998 schoolyear.

School Smoking/Tobacco Policies

Schools were asked if they had written tobacco policies; those withpolicies were asked about the specifics of their policies. Schoolsthat had written policies that prohibited the use of any type oftobacco by both students and staff on any school buildings, grounds,vehicles, and at off-campus school-sponsored events, both duringand after school hours were considered to be tobacco-free. Of the1355 schools that participated in the survey,

• 4% had no policies• 37% had partial restrictions on tobacco use• 61% were tobacco-free

Regular schools were more likely than alternative and charter schoolsto have written tobacco policies than were regular schools. Regularschools were also more likely to be tobacco-free than were othertypes of schools. Policies were most frequently established at thedistrict or board level. (84.4%).

Among schools with partial tobacco policies, staff tobacco use waspermitted more frequently than was student tobacco use both duringand after school hours. Smokeless tobacco use was more frequentlypermitted than smoking for both students and staff. Both smokingand smokeless tobacco use were most likely to be permitted outsideschool buildings and in parking lots. The use of tobacco at off-campus school-sponsored events was frequently permitted or notaddressed in written policies.

Full Spectrum: A Guide for Tobacco-Free Schools in Arizona Second Edition, 2000

84

Among schools with partial policies, 41.5 said they were veryinterested, 30.8% were somewhat interested, and 27.7% were notinterested in adopting tobacco-free policies. Schools that were notinterested perceived significantly less staff support for smoke-freepolicies (67.2%) than schools that were very interested (90.6%) orsomewhat interested (82.7%).

* Note: This survey was conducted prior to the passage ofthe new tobacco-free school law (ARS 36-798.03). Figureswill change.

Policy Monitoring, Enforcement, and Compliance

Of the 1299 schools with written tobacco policies, 1263 haddesignated individuals to monitor compliance and to enforce theirpolicies. Compliance monitoring and enforcement of tobacco-usepolicy were most frequently designated as a responsibility of schooladministrators. Student and common areas were monitored morefrequently than were staff areas. Compliance was perceived as beinghigher for staff than for students, and higher in tobacco-free schoolsthan in schools with partial policies. Enforcement was described asdifficult in fewer than 10% of schools. The enforcement problemsmost frequently identified were related to the inability to watch allstudents at all times in all locations. Tobacco use by visitors andnew students were also cited as enforcement problems, suggestingthat awareness of the policies was not universal.

Tobacco Education and Services

Of the 1355 schools completing the survey, 85.1% offered tobaccoprevention lessons to students in the previous school year. Abouthalf of the schools that had not provided prevention lessons in theprevious year stated that they intended to do so in the currentschool year. Schools with written policies were more likely to provideprevention lessons than were schools with no written policies.Among schools with written policies, those that were tobacco-freewere more likely to provide prevention lessons than schools thathad partial policies.

Cessation services were available to students and/or staff in 36.8%of schools. Those with written policies and those that were tobacco-free were more likely to provide cessation services.

Conclusions

The results of this survey suggest that while the vast majority ofpublic schools in Arizona directly addressed tobacco use by studentsand staff through the implementation of written tobacco-use policies,policies that permit staff to use tobacco products outside schoolbuildings, in parking lots, and in school-sponsored off-campusevents were common. Fewer enforcement problems were found inschools with tobacco-use policies than in schools with partialrestrictions. However, the perception that staff would not supportthe establishment of tobacco-free policies was significantly relatedto the schools’ lack of interest in becoming tobacco-free. Implicationsfor educating about tobacco-free policies in schools are that:

• Staff attitudes may be a significant barrier to acceptance oftobacco-free policies.

• The argument that enforcement of tobacco-use policy waseasier in schools that were tobacco-free can be used toencourage schools to strengthen their tobacco-use policies.

• Schools should be encouraged to reinforce tobacco-free normsby offering prevention and cessation programming, andlinking cessation activities to policy enforcement efforts.
