Chapman University bans smoking ans e-cigs; however...

Chapman University to go smoke-free

Another university in California banning smoking and e-cigarettes on campus is hardly newsworthy; however, the conclusion of the article is rather startling, at least to me.

"Other major health issues on college campuses nationwide include binge drinking and a record number of daily marijuana users, but Nudelman said those are problems better addressed through education, not policy."

"Alcohol and marijuana are two of the most widely used psychoactive drugs in the world. When used excessively or chronically, they represent a serious threat to public safety and health."

IOW, the two psychoactive drugs that cause cognitive impairment and thus are responsible for thousands of deaths and injuries among our students "are better addressed through education," while almost harmless e-cigarettes that help people quit smoking are being banned.

Can someone explain the reasoning behind this decision to me?

If you're as upset about this as I am, you may contact the writer:

College campii have been disfunctional since the 1960's and growing worse. Am hoping after the "baby boom" generation retires that the millenials are better.

I'm not so sure, choochoogranny... Nicotine has become public enemy number 1 in this country.

Gee, I wonder what ever happened to focusing on providing a quality education? I am so glad that I'm no longer in college with all the ridiculousness now days. In any event, if I were in college, I would just vape on--considering all the money they charge, they can just kiss my .....

Just to be clear--I never said that it was. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

That said, I got a response from the author of the article. She suggested that we contact Josh Nudelman directly: sgapresident@chapman.edu (his e-mail address is listed publicly on the university's website). He needs to be educated on the subject of e-cigs, methinks...

I don't think there was any Non-Clarity on your part Kat. It's just when Many People hear University, they assume it is part of the State University System.

All you need to do is stop vaping; the other substances are OK, though.

There are not enough other substances to make that happen.
