Texas A&M System to ban e-cigarettes

Add Texas A&M properties to the list of places where the use of e-cigarettes will no longer be allowed.

On Tuesday, A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp issued a memorandum stating that, in the interest of the “health of our students, faculty and staff,” he has directed the presidents of each of the system’s 11 universities, as well as the directors of the eight state agencies within the system to end the use of e-cigarettes, or vaping, “as soon as possible.”

“Smoking is banned in most places in the System already. But the ban on vaping is to be mandatory and expanded to every inch of the Texas A&M System,” he said.
