Since 2018, Hasanuddin University has enforced a Smoke-Free Policy, which was subsequently revised in 2024 to better align with the evolving campus environment and public health standards. This policy stipulates that all university areas must remain entirely free from smoking activities, including the production, sale, advertising, and promotion of tobacco products. To reinforce this commitment, each faculty and major campus facility has installed a campaign of “No Smoking Area” (Figure 1).

Beyond internal enforcement, Hasanuddin University also actively promotes smoke-free environments within the broader community. Through the Hasanuddin Center for Tobacco Control and Non-Communicable Diseases Prevention, the university continuously conducts awareness campaigns about Smoke-Free Zones (Kawasan Tanpa Rokok – KTR) in Makassar. A notable initiative includes webinars that engage educators and academic institutions to enhance their understanding of strategies for ensuring compliance with smoke-free regulations in educational settings.
