All N.C. school districts now 100 percent tobacco-free

All of North Carolina's school districts now have 100 percent tobacco-free policies, according to the state's Health and Wellness Trust Fund.

The group, which had run a campaign to see the policies enacted, said in a media statement that such policies prohibit tobacco use on school property and at school-related events.

Several school districts in the state started enacting policies in the 1990s, but the movement gained more momentum earlier this decade.

In 2007, a state law was passed requiring all the districts to enact the policies by this month.
