I’d like to write a localization about the recent panic surrounding vaping and e-cigarettes. As soon as a report regarding vaping deaths was published about a month ago, the issue became incredibly divisive. Some question the validity of the reports and specifically their pertinence to the Juul vs. black market vaping products (and whether or not the two are being conflated with one another), while others had a clear “it’s about time” attitude. Finally, it’s no secret that at wake, people use vaping products and e-cigarettes. I want to take advantage of this topic while it’s still hot.

Potential Sources:

• students (vaping students and non-vaping students)
• faculty (whether or not they notice the issue)
• staff
• student health (hopefully with a doc/nurse)
• gas station employee (how many students buy)
