University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana is implementing a smoke free policy including electronic cigarettes under wrong information, and i would like your help in correcting it. the school page about the policy says:
"Question: Will people be able to use e-cigarettes?
E-cigarettes will not be allowed once the smoke-free campus policy goes into effect. The smoke-free campus subcommittees explored this extensively. They decided to ban them for the following reasons:
E-cigarettes emit a vapor that contains tobacco byproducts. It is believed that this vapor is dangerous; the extent of the risk is unknown at this time.
The tobacco industry heavily markets e-cigarettes as a cessation device although they have not been approved by the FDA for this purpose. Allowing them in our policy may lead many smokers to turn to e-cigarettes as a cessation device, possibly unknowingly harming their health.
Because e-cigarettes look like traditional cigarettes, allowing them can create confusion for people responsible for enforcement."
