Vaping Banned at Texas A&M System Campuses, Including WTAMU

Vaping will soon be a thing of the past at West Texas A&M University.

On Tuesday, A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp sent a memo to officials of the system calling for a system-wide ban on vaping. The ban on vaping on campus will include all facilities and properties on campus, officials said, and will affect every campus within the A&M System, including West Texas A&M University in Canyon.

“I do not want to take any unnecessary chances with the health of our students, faculty and staff,” Chancellor Sharp said in the memo. “To that end, I am directing the presidents of each of the 11 universities and the directors of the eight state agencies within The Texas A&M University System to ban the use of e-cigarettes and vaping as soon as possible.”

The ban is to be enacted at each institution “as soon as is practical,” according to Sharp’s memo.
