I can see where this is going.
Maybe.
Regarding the OP, I've been using an e-cig for right at a month now and still use them like they were regular cigarettes for the most part. I go outside, try to put some distance between non-smokers and not try to go out of my way to be an a-hole. I know a good bit of people that vape and are pretentious assholes with it, but they were like that before. I know even more people who are considerate of others no matter what they're doing.
So far, the people who seem to support the ban have shared anecdotal evidence of some a-hole they know doing a-hole things. I'd be disappointed if I can't take a few puffs between class but I'd understand why.
Also, where is she coming up with this idea of it being an epidemic? I can honestly say I've only seen 2 other people puffing on e-cigs on campus? Is there some electronic smokers club that I'm missing out on?

Link? I'm only asking because everything I've even heard or seen regarding nicotine says it does not cause cancer.
Google, it's pretty easy to find that info on most respectable medical sites just searching "nicotine cancer."
edit: they don't like to say "cause cancer," they use wording like effecting cellular growth that can lead to cancer/promoting cancer. It is known to make it grow a lot faster too.
From wiki on nicotine.
quote:
Historically, nicotine has not been regarded as a carcinogen.[65] The IARC has not evaluated nicotine in its standalone form or assigned it to an official carcinogen group. While no epidemiological evidence supports that nicotine alone acts as a carcinogen in the formation of human cancer, research over the last decade has identified nicotine's carcinogenic potential in animal models and cell culture.[66][67] Nicotine has been noted to directly cause cancer through a number of different mechanisms such as the activation of MAP Kinases.[68] Indirectly, nicotine increases cholinergic signalling (and adrenergic signalling in the case of colon cancer[69]), thereby impeding apoptosis (programmed cell death), promoting tumor growth, and activating growth factors and cellular mitogenic factors such as 5-LOX, and EGF. Nicotine also promotes cancer growth by stimulating angiogenesis and neovascularization.[70][71] In one study, nicotine administered to mice with tumors caused increases in tumor size (twofold increase), metastasis (nine-fold increase), and tumor recurrence (threefold increase).[72] N-Nitrosonornicotine (NNN), classified by the IARC as a Group 1 carcinogen, is produced endogenously from nitrite in saliva and nicotine.

Nicotine is found in several vegetables. Ban them before they kill our children!

What a bunch of whiners.
Do you know what's in e juice? Flavors, nicotine and the catalyst that's in albuterol. Which is used in inhalers for asthma people.
Whaaaaaaaa.

I was kidding. Sunday we were talking about our boil for this Friday and it sounds like we'll have more veggies than crawfish.
