Texas State students are well-aware that smoking on campus is banned, but they may not know that some off-campus locations in San Marcos will soon be affected as well. Frank Makri (MAK-REE) has more in this Bobcat Update.

Smoking has been a hot-button issue for quite some time, and attempts to limit it are not going away anytime soon. San Marcos will be enforcing a ban on smoking in restaurants and bars, as well as outdoors on the square, starting June 1st. Students who smoke are not happy about this new law.
SB: Middlebrooks...12 seconds..."Over the top"
Some students who work at bars worry the ban may affect their business.
SB: Moncanut...13 seconds..."Slippery slope"
Stand Up: Makri...11 seconds..."Smoking ban"
Students who don't smoke think the new law is a step in the right direction.
SB: Terry...10 seconds..."Good thing"
Other San Marcos residents have gotten used to smoking indoors and think the change is NOT needed.
SB: Wilson...13 seconds..."Won't last"
The ban includes e-cigarettes and vapes.  Be sure to contact San Marcos City Council for more information.  For Bobcat Update, I'm Frank Makri (MAK-REE).
