“Whether we go smoke-free or tobacco-free, e-cigarettes will be included in the ban part of that,” Sylvester said. “The reason for that is very simple: They aren’t FDA approved.”

The research that is available shows chemicals from the plastic cartridges and metal holdings can get into the vapor, and people are at risk for breathing those in, she said.

With some reluctance, Sylvester acknowledges vaping can be a successful smoking cessation aid, particularly to a lifelong smoker, but she remains adamant it has no place on a college campus.

“There is absolutely no reason for anybody below the age of 26 to use them,” Sylvester said. “It’s pure nicotine and it’s addictive. And because it’s not FDA approved, nobody really knows what they are getting in those cartridges.”

But to Sylvester, an offering of different flavors is a “major red flag” that the product is being marketed to children, adding that banning e-cigarettes from LSU’s campus will help keep them out of the hands of children at the University Laboratory School and LSU Day Care Center.

I don't get the problem here. I though those e-cigarettes were not putting out actual smoke but water vapor instead? There's a guy in my office who puffs on his not 10' from where I'm sitting now and unless I see him doing it, I never even notice. Do they have a scent that some don't like or something? I can't smell them if they do.

Is 26 a magic age where nicotine is no longer addictive?

I think she should focus on just getting actual cigarettes banned.....I mean is that a foregone conclusion pretty much...I admit I'm out of the loop on that, but I bet there are still a shite ton of people that smoke at LSU...I know there were when I was there over 10 yrs ago.
