Arizona State University students are breathing cleaner air this semester after ASU’s tobacco-free policy took effect this month. Students are no longer allowed to smoke on campus. Smokeless tobacco, which is also known as dipping tobacco, and hookah have been banned as well.
But electronic cigarettes are still allowed on campus as long as they are smoked outside. E-cigarettes work by heating up liquid nicotine and turning it into a vapor that can be inhaled.
Non-smokers and even traditional cigarette smokers might not realize what a booming industry e-cigarettes have become. E-cigarettes are estimated to bring in $1 billion in sales this year, according to Wells Fargo securities analysts.
Scottsdaleis the home of NJOY, one of the most recognizable brands of e-cigarettes, which even scored a commercial during the Super Bowl last year.
Ted Kaercher, owner at Headquarters Smokeshop in Tempe, says they have been selling e-cigarettes since 2009 and people are picking them up for plenty of reasons. E-cigarettes release vapor so they can be used inside, they don’t burn or smell, allow users to control the amount of nicotine they are using, have more variety, last longer and are cheaper in the long run.
“Just a few years ago this stuff was super expensive and there were very few choices but because of the popularity the prices have gone down and the products that are being developed are a lot better now,” he says.
