We are also considering revising our Tobacco Free Policy<http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/EDU/Verified_-_Policies_and_Procedures/PDF_Versions/75003_Restrictions_on_Tobacco_Smoking_and_Sale_of_Tobacco_Products/> to include e-cigarettes. However, rather than develop language at the administrative level now, we made the decision to put the question to our student and employee governance groups to "test the waters" and allow the issue to come from the bottom up rather than the top down. We are essentially "tobacco free" but as we are learning, that is quite different from being "smoke free."

Since our current policy does not cover the 'new electronic' cigarettes, students are pushing the envelope by 'smoking' on these during classes to the distraction of other students and their professors.
