Objective:  To evaluate the effectiveness of a university tobacco-free policy by examining differences in students’ attitudes, perceptions of compliance and policy benefits, after one year of the policy’s implementation.    Methods:  Cross-sectional studies were undertaken to collect data pre- and 1 year post-policy implementation. The two samples were selected using stratified random sampling.    Results:  The prevalence of smoking decreased from 26% pre-policy implementation to 21% 1 year after ( p  = 0.035). The proportion of smokers who thought the policy had contributed to a reduction in smoking frequency increased from 10% to 70% ( p  < 0.001). Smokers’ support for the policy rose from 42 to 58% ( p  = 0.007).    Conclusion:  Against the background of a strongly pro-tobacco environment in Lebanon, it is possible to create a positive change in the mindset of smokers at the levels of the education and smoking cessation and more efforts should be expended to bring it about.
