VASNHS Going Smoke-Free Beginning October 2019


By U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System is committed to providing excellent health care for veterans. In our efforts to fully promote a healthy environment for all our veterans and employees, we will be a smoke-free campus effective Oct. 1, 2019. This is part of a nationwide campaign to make all VA facilities smoke-free.
 
All tobacco products to include cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco as well as electronic nicotine systems such as e-cigarettes and vaping devices will no longer be allowed on the campus. In addition, the smoking shelters at the Medical Center as well as Primary Care Clinics will be closed.
