Vaping will soon be banned on “every inch” of campuses or facilities within the Texas A&M University system, school officials say.

While smoking is already a no-go in most locations at the 69,000-student public school, Texas A&M chancellor John Sharp told students Tuesday that he’s directing the heads at each of its 11 universities and eight state agencies within the system to ban the use of e-cigarettes as soon as possible.

“But the ban on vaping is to be mandatory and expanded to every inch of the Texas A&M System,” Sharp said in a memo to students. “This health threat is serious enough that I want to see the ban included every building, outside space, parking lot, garage and laboratory within the Texas A&M System.”

Sharp also called on any vendor selling e-cigarettes or vaping cartridges to stop hawking the products. No exact timetable for the change was given.

“I would like to see the ban in place today, but I understand the practicalities of running major institutions,” Sharp’s statement continued. “So I will ask that the bans be implemented as soon as is practical.”

The announcement came as health officials in two states — New Jersey and Virginia — announced their first vaping-related fatalities on Tuesday. The New Jersey woman’s age and identity were not released, and it’s unclear whether she used THC or nicotine vapes, officials said.

Officials in Virginia also announced that a state resident died in North Carolina last week from a severe lung injury connected to vaping. The unidentified person was an adult from southwest Virginia and no additional details were immediately released.

More than 800 people from 46 states have been diagnosed with severe lung illnesses from unknown causes connected to vaping. At least 16 people in 13 states have died, NBC News reports.
