Cite as Haw. Code R. § 8-31-1
The public school system strives to provide its
students with a safe and secure learning environment, as well as
appropriate instruction and school experiences that mutually
reinforce good personal health and safety practices. The present
practice of condoning tobacco use by employees and other adults on
public school campuses, at off-campus events, and at district and
state offices seriously undermines and contradicts instruction to
students regarding the health hazards of tobacco use. The purpose of
this chapter is to implement the tobacco free school system policy.
Accordingly, this chapter sets forth who shall be responsible for
implementing the tobacco free school system policy, as well as how
the policy shall be enforced. This chapter also provides for
counseling and rehabilitation assistance to employees who wish to
stop smoking. [Eff. MAY 08, 1993] (Auth: HRS §§302A-1112, 328K-5)
