Smoke-free Massey

Providing a healthy and safe environment for everyone at Massey University is important. We're committed to:

• promoting “Smokefree/Auahi kore” as the norm by encouraging staff, students, contractors, volunteers, visitors and their families/whanau to quit smoking
• eliminate secondhand smoke exposure to non-smokers
• promote and support the cessation of smoking due to the inherent health risks to smokers
• support New Zealand’s commitment to being essentially Smoke Free by 2025

Effective 1 January 2018, Massey University is smoke-free. This includes all:

• workplaces
• student accommodation
• campus grounds and buildings
• farms
• staff accommodation
• vehicles (including personal vehicles on site).
