Tobacco

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, cigarette smoking is a major coronary risk factor. Also, current research shows a dramatic increase in oral cancer for individuals who chew tobacco. Nicotine, the major drug in tobacco, is a widely known stimulant that is highly addictive.

For obvious health, safety and conditioning reasons, the athletic department expects our student/athletes to abstain from all use of tobacco products. The use of tobacco in any form will not help our teams and student/athletes reach their goals of excellence.

Use of tobacco during the season is a violation of the Code of Behavior all athletes sign prior to participating on an interscholastic team.
