Campus police have begun ticketing smokers who are ignoring the tobacco ban at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.

The campus banned smoking in August 2010. Fayetteville television station KHOG reports that police initially handed out warnings as people learned about the new policy.

Lt. Gary Crain says police are now giving fewer warnings and writing more citations.

Crain says the policy has been in place long enough for people to know about it. He says smoking has dropped drastically on campus but smokers still find places to hide out.
