If you're a smoker and would like to quit, the university's Health Center can
provide some assistance. Clair Hugo has more in this Bobcat Update.

Many students say they smoke to deal with stress. Others say they smoke to be
social. But it's an activity that's not welcomed everywhere. Even second-hand
smoke can be hazardous, so certain sections on campus are designated as non-smoking
areas. Even so, there are students who will ignore the signs and light up
anyway.
If you're addicted, it's not easy to stop smoking,
SB (Justin Bailey talks about how Wellbutrin has helped him)
Taking Wellbutrin to quit smoking is an off-label use of the medication, but
it's more affordable than other smoking cessation drugs. The Texas State Student
Health Center provides free services for students who need help quitting.
Patients undergo a personal assessment, private counseling with a nurse,
self-help materials and follow-up support.

The Health Center Pharmacy has recently discounted its smoking cessation
medications as well.
