Bans

This week in class we discussed the marketing of tobacco products and how bans in certain areas is affecting the use of tobacco.  Today there was an article on how even electronic cigarettes are banned on airplanes (at least in the US). 


Another topic from this week was bottled water.  Carli sent me a few articles about bottled water being banned in certain areas.  There are cities that are banning bottled water.  Attempts have been made everywhere from Concord, MA to San Francisco.  There are a number of universities that are stepping forward and banning the sale of bottled water on their campus. A few that have already banned it are University of Portland, Seattle University, University of Vermont, and Washington University in St. Louis.  The University of Oregon is contemplating it. 



Would you be in favor of a ban on the sale of bottled water on USD's campus?  What might make it difficult?  How could the difficulties be overcome?

How would you feel about sitting next to someone on a plane who was smoking an electronic cigarette?
