Texas State University now has a campus-wide ban on smoking. In this Bobcat Update, Caroline Cook tells us how some students are being affected.

Texas State officially became a tobacco-free campus on August 1st. The university handbook states that students and faculty are encouraged to enforce the policy themselves but many choose not to.

A recent survey showed that 70 percent of students and 75 percent of faculty wanted a tobacco-free campus. Although the ban is now in effect, many ignore the policy.

The school is offering classes and a hotline to students and staff who want to quit smoking. The ban is in effect for both the San Marcos and Round Rock campuses. For Bobcat Update, I'm Caroline Cook.
