Do what you think is Best.
But know that Most Policy Makers rarely do a Complete 180 and Reverse a Policy such as an e-Cigarette On Campus Ban.
What might be a More Winnable Fight is to Petition for a Revised Policy which allows e-Cigarettes use in Open Air Places like Parking Lots.
You might also want to tell them that as an institute of higher learning, they should check their facts and not promote ignorance.
Signed it and signed up to this site finally to show my support to a fellow vaper. I've only been vaping for a month now but have been trying to convert every one of my smoking friends. Went from a pack a day to only having 4 the past month due to ecigs. Now, if only I could stop spending money on different setups/juices
If you click on the blue > CASAA <------ it will bring up where CASAA has a section. You will find Kristin's name there. Click on her name and you should private message her. CASAA fights for the rights of vapers in the USA.
Thanks for this idea. I'll keep this idea as a back-up plan. I have a member of the Student Government Organization on my side and will try to get him to get the other members to agree with my. That may be able to help.
I have another idea along the same lines as this. I don't know if CCC has a science department, but if so it may be worth talking to some of the science professors. If they can be brought around to your side, they may be able to help convince the administration. Kind of like expert witnesses in trials, it helps to have somebody that understands the science and research behind things.
Interesting thought. I may have to see if I can find anyone in that area. We do have a science department.
You obviously haven't had much experience with the upper levels of academia.
As a general rule, the ONLY professors who will "buck the system" in a university or college are the ones with tenure, who have nothing to fear.
From my understanding, most community colleges do not grant tenure.
Therefore, ANY instructor who "bucks the system" would be seen as insubordinate, a threat to good conduct, and most likely, summarily dismissed, and MOST instructors don't want to risk their careers on taking a moral stand--even if they are right an the institution is clueless, reactionary and brainwashed by ANTZ propaganda.
I suggest a "vape-In" on campus to protest. I'd attend.
Oh, yeah, and BTW, I signed the petition...

signed it. amazing how many out there have their head in the sand. best of luck. keep us posted.
Signed the petition. What next ban nic gum and patches. Control freaks out of control.
I second this. Go get yourself some 0 nic juice to carry around so you have some ammo to fight them with.
Thanks for signing. I understand what you are saying. I just want to at least try to fight this. I'm not just going to sit around and ignore this ban. Do you really think a "vape-in" would do anything? I didn't think about doing that.

I'm thinking about doing this and seeing how they react to that. They may not like that idea though.
I'll be sure to keep you guys posted! Thanks for the interest. And thanks to everyone who is signing my petition! If you guys know anyone who would sign it or could share my petition on your Facebook walls, etc then please do so. that would help. If you are in college, posting it on your schools Facebook walls could get attention. Thanks.
