- Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To examine the salience of tobacco marketing on postsecondary campuses and student support for tobacco control policies. METHODS: Face-to-face surveys were conducted with 1690 students at 3 universities in southwestern Ontario. RESULTS: Virtually all (97%) students reported noticing tobacco marketing in the past year, and 35% reported noticing marketing on campus. There was strong support for smoke-free restrictions on campus, including restaurants and bars (82%), and for prohibitions on campus marketing. The presence of campus policies was associated with reduced exposure to marketing and increased policy support. CONCLUSIONS: There is strong support among students to remove tobacco marketing from campus and to introduce comprehensive smoke-free restrictions.
