Marquette seeks to create and maintain an environment that promotes health and healthy behavior for all of our students, faculty, staff and campus visitors. Because tobacco products have well-known health risks associated with their use and secondhand exposure that put all members of the Marquette community at risk, the university has a tobacco-free policy.
Students should complete the Tobacco Free Contact Form with any questions. Employees with questions should contact Employee Wellness.
