Both students and the Stevens Fire Safety Coordinator, Daniel Cunning, are aware that using e-cigarettes indoors is illegal. As a result of a 2010 amendment to the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act (P.L. 2009, c. 182), e-cigarettes are banned in indoor public places and workplaces. This includes student dorms.
