At Florida International University, we have provided copies of our University regulation to students we've encountered in the hallways smoking e-cigs. It reads as follows:
FIU-113 Smoke and Tobacco-Free Campus (1) Definitions: (a) "Smoking" means possession of a lighted cigarette, cigar, pipe, water-pipe or hookah or any product consumed in a similar manner; and the use of an unlit cigarette, cigar, pipe, water-pipe or hookah, or the use of an electronic cigarette, cigar, pipe or any other device intended to simulate smoked tobacco. (b) "Tobacco products" means cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco, smokeless pouches, and any other form of loose-leaf, smokeless tobacco. (c) "University campus" or "campus" shall include all those lands occupied or controlled by Florida International University; which includes, but is not limited to the inside of all buildings, parking garages, parking lots, athletic fields, and all stadium seating.

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.
