It also includes any product intended to mimic tobacco products, contain tobacco flavoring, or deliver nicotine other than via a personal smokeless application for the purpose of cessation.

Students and employees violating this policy may be subject to disciplinary action. Visitors violating this policy may be denied access to campus.
