Taking their public use into consideration, it’s worthwhile to ask whether or not an marlboro electronic cigarette
could be used inside a Purdue classroom. Charlie Cary, senior director
of Building Services, directed The Exponent’s inquiry on the subject to
the Purdue University Police Department. Purdue Police Captain Eric Chin
struggled to come up with an answer as well, only being able to refer
to the laws about smoking on campus.
The issue is those laws were
written with tobacco cigarettes in mind — cigarettes that are prone to
becoming litter, starting fires and polluting the air with secondhand
smoke.Nobody would expect to be able to smoke an ordinary ego t electronic cigarette in a classroom anyway, but as technology evolves, the rules must evolve as well.Smoking cigarettes is a personal choice.
Breathing
clean air should be a citizen’s right, but instead secondhand smoke is
forced upon non-smokers by other people who choose to smoke, violating
that fundamental liberty. The Food and Drug Administration has reported
it would take multiple people smoking e-cigarettes in the same place at
the same time for the secondhand smoke to be potentially dangerous. The
actual information about the vapor’s dangers isn’t available. Until the
dangers, or lack thereof, are understood and reported, there should
automatically be no tolerance for electronic cigarettes inside Purdue
facilities.
The e-cigarette manufacturers insist that secondhand
smoke is actually secondhand vapor, made up of almost entirely water
vapor, but lack the research to prove their claim. This means the threat
of secondhand vapor from ego t electronic cigarette shouldn’t be ignored although the effects are widely believed to be arbitrary.ngj5f34Ss
While
the alleged minimal effects of the vapor makes smoking indoors a more
realistic option for those who use e-cigarettes, Purdue would encounter
many problems if this habit was allowed. There are no current
regulations on electronic cigarettes at Purdue. This should be fixed
before students and faculty members who smoke electronic cigarettes
start seeing what they can get away with inside Purdue’s facilities.
"This is vapor, so it's not as damaging to your lungs or your throat or your vocal cords," said ego electronic cigarette
user Victoria Reynolds.Reynolds said she is a believer in the power of
the e-cigarette. She said that the product doesn't leave her with the
tobacco smell associated with traditional cigarettes and has improved
her quality of life."I've noticed my breathing in the past four months
of using this has increased significantly. I'm not huffing and puffing
at all," another ego t electronic cigarette user, Ryan McMillian, said.
E-cigarettes
are battery-powered. Liquid nicotine gets heated into a vapor. The
product comes in several different flavors, including gummy bear and
bubble gum.If your children — of whatever age — are itching for a
cigarette, laws are in place in Virginia and across the country to
prevent the little ones from buying them.Not so with e-cigarettes. No
federal restrictions are in place limiting the sale of the electronic
devices, which resemble traditional cigarettes but use batteries to heat
nicotine-laced liquid, producing a vapor that is inhaled.
Now, 40 attorneys general across the country have signed a letter asking federal regulators to ban sales of ego t electronic cigarette to minors and stop ego t electronic cigarette
companies from marketing to youths, according to the Boston Globe.Big
tobacco companies have recently entered the e-cigarette market, and
e-cigarette sales are expected to reach $1.7 billion this year, reported
the Globe.
