The University of Mexico is working to become a smoke-free campus by closing a number of designated smoking areas.
KOAT-TV reports that by fall 2017, three of the seven current smoking areas will be closed.
University officials say a nonsmoking campus is healthier for students and faculty they also say eliminating smoking should keep the campus cleaner without cigarette butts.
The fine for smoking outside of the remaining smoking areas will be $100
