Soon, College Station's elected leaders will vote on a proposed re-working of the city's smoking ordinance.

Under the proposal, which will be voted on January 22 following a public hearing, smoking would no longer be allowed at College Station bars or within 10 feet of the entrances.

Also, smoking would be banned completely at restaurants as opposed to the current 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. allowance in place now.

You also couldn't smoke at a workplace, or within 20 feet of a public place that's not a bar.

For more information on the proposed ordinance click on the link below. That will take you to the agenda from College Station's last city council meeting. On Page 25 of that document, you'll find the information on the proposed changes, including the ordinance the council will vote on January 22.

SMOKING IS NOT A PROBLEM IN C.C!!! I can't remember the last time I even got a whiff of a cigarette here locally. You do-gooders and busy-bodies need to get a life. And the precious "research" you like to site about second hand smoke is AGENDA ORIENTED JUNK SCIENCE. By the way, I don't smoke and never have. I don't even understand the attraction.

I'm 100% in favor of this passing; going out in cities where smoking bans are in place is much more pleasant. In fact, I hope Bryan follows suit.
