San Marcos is making it harder for those who want to light up. Jolina Okazaki tells us more in this Bobcat Update.
The city has for some time had strict smoking regulations, but now the rules have been broadened to include parklets and sidewalk cafes. Some smokers say the harsher restrictions will affect them.
SB
In San Marcos, smoking is prohibited in parks, workplaces and within ten feet of city buildings. Vaping is included in the restrictions. The regulations are one way to keep the streets and sidewalks cleaner.
SB
Some smokers will just throw their cigarettes on the floor when they're done and that can be bad for the environment.
SU
According to the city of San Marcos' website, a first-offender may be fined 200 dollars for violating the smoking ordinance. The fine goes up to 500 dollars for a second offense, and it could be as high as two-thousand dollars for any subsequent offense. For Bobcat Update, I'm Jolina Okazaki.
