Smoking/Tobacco Cessation

Employee Benefits
To encourage and support individuals that are ready to stop smoking, the health plan now includes smoking deterrents. Please consult the summary plan description for more information at www.marquette.edu/benefits

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a benefit for all employees, spouses, and dependents. It is 100% confidential and offers in-person or telephone sessions with Master’s-level counselors where employees can talk about a variety of concerns including smoking/tobacco issues.

Smoking Policy

Smoking is now prohibited in all university buildings and within 25 feet of all building entrances and balconies to comply with Wisconsin Act 12, “Smoke-Free Wisconsin,” as well as to support campus health and safety. The policy also prohibits smoking in parking structures and university-owned vehicles and prohibits designating any indoor location as a “smoking area.”
