Going smoke-free: University staff and students' qualitative views about smoking on campus during the implementation of a smoke-free policy.

Background: Despite many Australian universities introducing smoke-free policies on campus, there is little information about staff and students understanding of smoking on campus in the context of the implementation of a smoke-free policy.

Objective: This research explores the qualitative views of university staff and students about smoking on campus during the implementation of a smoke-free policy.

Methods: In 2016, an electronic survey was distributed to all current staff and students of a large university in Queensland, Australia during the implementation of a smoke-free policy.
