Description:
Siam University reviewed all 2020 policies in 2024 and created new ones in the same year. In accordance to the “leading university creating innovation for sustainable future” new vision of Siam University, the revised “Green and Clean Campus Policy” was approved by the University Council on October 30, 2024. It states that Siam University is committed to encourage “No Smoking” campaign and advice as well as disseminate knowledge about the harmfulness of smoking including electric cigarettes to our students and staff, school students, and the general public. An example of activities is “The Last Puff” or smoking cessation project of the Faculty of Pharmacy which has been implemented for 12 years (2012-2025). This event was participated by at least 60 students annually, equivalent to more than 800 participantsip in total to present. It aims to tackle the issue of e-cigarette use among the youth. Cessation services are provided by the students through Osot Siam Pharmacy and community outreach. Students perform assessments with specialized devices and prepare personalized treatment plans, including behavioral therapy and pharmacological aids. The “Last Puff” fulfils not only SDG3 (Good Health and Wellbeing) but also SDG 4 (Quality Education) through hands-on learning, presenting students with clinical exposure while demonstrating advanced reasoning skills in active healthcare contexts. This initiative ensures meaningful, transformative learning that enables pharmacy graduates to competently manage tobacco dependency and public health issues in their professional practice. The project was awarded a “Highly Commended” 2025 International Green Gown Award (IGGA) in the “Student Engagement” category.
