I understand the ban inside buildings but I don't agree with banning it outside or lumping it in with cigarettes.
Here's my suggestion. If you really feel strongly that this ban is wrong, you have an excellent opportunity to inform students and faculty the true facts about
vaping through your college newspaper. Talk to the editor or someone on staff and ask them to do an article on
vaping. Get information for them. Ask posters here to give you links about studies. Or you can write an op ed piece yourself.
IMO, the negativity on the part of many people when it comes to
vaping is that most people don't have facts. They see it as smoking, period. It's not. Administrators constantly institute rules and regulations based on emotion rather than fact. We don't change things unless we confront and question their decisions. But we have to do it in a rational way, otherwise we're just like them.
Good luck and I hope you do something. I know you will get plenty of help from here.
