The Problem and Purpose Statements

The issue that I am tackling is smoking in our smoke-free campus. This is both a health and environmental problem for the campus and its people.

Problem Statement:
San Francisco State University established a no smoking policy on campus with designated smoking areas within its premises but there has been difficulty implementing this policy because of unawareness and lack of visible signage.

Purpose Statement:
The purpose of this study was to develop a means of effectively informing people about San
Francisco State University's smoke-free policy and the location of designated smoking areas within the campus.
