Hopkins Kicks Butts

Hopkins Kicks Butts is a student-led coalition that works to support and advocate national, state, local, and university antitobacco policies and activities. The coalition also sponsors events on campus, such as the Great American Smoke Out to raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco and tobacco-related products. Other coalition activities include:

  • Maryland Clean Indoor Act Petition Campaign
  • Quit smoking postcard mailing to graduating seniors
  • Picture a Cure at Relay For Life events
  • National Kick Butts Day -- 1,200 shoes were donated by Goodwill and spread across the Upper Quad to symbolize the lives lost to tobacco everyday
  • Great American SmokeOut awareness events
  • Quit kits

Policy

"Smoking is prohibited inside all facilities owned, leased, or operated by The Johns Hopkins University in the contiguous United States, including (but not limited to) such space as classrooms, general and residence halls, laboratories, studios, open and private offices, corridors, dining areas, restrooms and common areas. This prohibition also includes all vehicles owned, leased, or operated by the University. The president, deans, and/or directors may also designate, with appropriate signage, certain outdoor areas -- especially entrance ways -- smoke- free.

To effect adherence, members of the Hopkins community are encouraged to directly and politely inform those unaware of the policy, or remind those in disregard of it. If this approach and effort is unsuccessful, the individual in violation of this policy will be brought to the attention of the dean, director, senior staff member or other person in charge for further discussion and progressive counseling. Those who still do not comply will face corrective action consistent with the nature and seriousness of the continuing violations.

We ask for your cooperation. If you have any questions please call your divisional Human Resources Office."
