DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke administrators say they want to stay ahead of a growing national trend that some believe is dangerous.

  • Right now, they're in the early stages of putting together a proposed policy, meaning the exact details are not being revealed yet
  • The CDC reports that vaping has led to 18 deaths in 15 states
  • One senior says he's not sure if an e-cig ban will have a major effect

Right now, they're in the early stages of putting together a proposed policy, meaning the exact details are not being revealed yet.

If they do put together a policy, it would be part of the larger smoking ban that goes into effect on campus next year.

There's growing concern about the use of e-cigarettes.

The CDC reports that vaping has led to 18 deaths in 15 states. Officials also say they're seeing many users under the age of 35.

Students on campus feel most people there have tried vaping at least once.

However, one senior says he's not sure if an e-cig ban will have a major effect.
