City Employs Anti-Smoking Officers

From KBTX.com:

Smokers in College Station, listen up: only 3 days left to smoke in a College Station bar or restaurant.

"The smoking ban is going into effect on Super Bowl Sunday, which I think is a really bad idea because that is like one of the most publicized days for bars, and you're not gonna be able to smoke," said smoker Danny Merritt.

Wednesday, city council members in Dallas approved spending over $165,674 to hire three new smoking-ban enforcers. ...

... "We will start enforcing the law, we have no choice," said Randa Cooper of the Dixie Chicken. "We want everybody to come in and have a good time and smoking is part of most bars, so we'll see what happens."

City employees said they expect the number of calls to be high this weekend, then eventually taper off.

Liberty up in smoke.
