Abstract	The current study examined changes in prevalence of e-cigarette use and perceptions of the harmfulness of e-cigarette and combustible cigarettes following a campus-wide tobacco ban. Undergraduate students completed surveys of tobacco use and perceived product harmfulness. Four samples were collected: in 2013 prior to the ban (n = 792) and in fall 2014 (n = 310), 2015 (n = 208), and 2016 (n = 417). E-cigarette use increased in the years following the ban (p = 0.01) while combustible cigarette use decreased from 2013 to 2016 (p = 0.02). Men were more likely than women to use both products (ps < 0.05). Students' perceptions of the harmfulness of combustible and electronic cigarettes remained stable in the years following the ban (p > 0.05). This study is the first to examine the impact of including e-cigarettes in tobacco free policies. Combustible cigarette use declined, but e-cigarette use increased in the years following the e-cigarette ban. Prospective research is needed to understand the long-term impacts of e-cigarette bans.
