Wright Way Policy change results in e-cigarette restrictions

As of Jan. 12, students who use e-cigarettes will be subject to the same restrictions as other smokers on campus.

In February 2014, Wright State’s student government passed a resolution requesting that e-cigarettes be added to the university’s list of restricted tobacco products found in Wright Way Policy 6020. A couple of months later, the Faculty Senate unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the student government resolution.

The policy, originally implemented in 1992, states that “[c]igarette, cigar, and/or pipe-smoking...is only permitted outdoors,” a rule that now applies to e-cigarettes as well.
