“I think vaping should not be allowed because I think it would encourage more vaping and nicotine is a bad thing for your system. It becomes an addiction later on in life and it can lead to long-lasting lung damage.”

“I would not mind it because it is not anything really, really bad, but some people are against stuff like that.”

“I think vaping is nasty, but sure, why not? If you want to vape, I do not think it is a big harm.”

“I say go for it. It does not really bother me. I personally do not [vape]. I have never had a cloud of smoke puffed at me so I don’t really care. Definitely not in classrooms, though because that is a huge distraction.”
