USARJ officially launches tobacco policy

U.S. Army Japan officially enforced its tobacco policy Nov. 17, making Camp Zama and other Army installations in Japan free of tobacco use — with the exception of designated tobacco-use areas. With the slogan “USARJ kicks butts,” the purpose of the policy is to prevent second-hand smoke exposure.With the support of Public Health Command-Pacific, Medical Department Activity Japan, Army Wellness Center, Army Substance Abuse Program, and ...the Camp Zama community at large, the policy was promoted with two events. A “Quit Cold Turkey Trot” was held Nov. 8 and included students of Zama American High School. On Nov. 17 informational materials and other items were given out to community members followed by activities promoting tobacco-free living at the teen center. Nov. 17 was also the annual Great American Smoke Out, which encourages no tobacco use for the day. (U.S. Army photos by Lance D. Davis)

“The Exchange’s community gift wrap program helps military families make the most of the hectic holiday season,” said Camp Zama Exchange General Manager Brian Read. “They can check items off their gift lists and get those presents wrapped in just one stop.
