KVCC to Go Smoke-Free

WMUK

Kalamazoo Valley Community College will go smoke-free next year. It has approved a campus-wide ban on tobacco products effective January 1.

After that date, the only place students will be allowed to smoke at KVCC is in their cars. The college says a committee of “students, faculty and staff” recommended the changes to its tobacco policy.

The ban includes so-called e-cigarettes. Those don’t contain tobacco leaves and don’t burn, but do emit nicotine vapor.

Sehvilla Mann joined WMUK’s news team in 2014 as a reporter on the local government and education beats. She covered those topics and more in eight years of reporting for the Station, before becoming news director in 2022.
