DTH at a Glance: Goodbye flu, hello basketball fever

“The Big Game” may have been on Sunday, but we all know the truly big matchup this week is tonight. Whether you’re staying studious in class or playing hookie to camp outside the Dean Dome, here’s the headlines to start your day off on the right (Tar Heel-ed) foot:

QUICK HITS

• E-cigarettes and vapes may represent a loophole in Orange County’s  public smoking laws — but what residents avoid in fines, they might not be avoiding in health effects.
