Oxford Brookes to introduce vape rooms in all buildings to stop students vaping in lectures

Oxford Brookes University will introduce designated vape rooms on all campus buildings to combat students vaping in lectures.

A leaked email sent to university staff explained that the rooms have been created as a solution to the “disruption and discomfort” caused by vaping in prohibited areas.

It added that, whilst students have a right to make their own choices, this initiative provides a solution that “balances the needs and preferences of all members of the community”.

The email confirmed that each university building will be installed with a vape room from April 8th and that the rooms will be fitted with ventilation systems to ensure air quality and “user comfort”.

April, a business student and avid vaper, told The Tab Brookes that she ‘s not sure the idea will work. She said: “If the uni expects me to sit through a whole hour lecture without puffing on my Lost Mary, it’s mad. I’m not about to sit and puff in a little room like a convict. It will probably be full of Blue Razz losers anyway.”

Third year mathematics student, Jules, was more open to the idea, saying: “Why not? If it stops me choking on bubblegum clouds during algebra then I’m all for it. Plus, it’s an easy way to single out all the saddos who vape. I say we round them up and lock them in there for good.”

You should probably check the date, you April fools!
