Subject: RE: Smokers in clubs
That's the gauntlet I run through each and every
Morning. More specifically so do patients attending clinics and A&E.

The more no smoking signs you put up, the more gets blown in the face literally of anybody who looks like they could be management. Smoking rates are rather high in this particular city, compared to the national average. The local newspaper had an article last year condemning the hospital trust for having a clampdown and security telling them to not smoke. It took a letter from the chief constable to point out that in hospital grounds it is a criminal offence and the hospital trust is obliged.

A large shopping mall we occasionally go to includes running the gauntlet of a bridge from the car park with no smoking signs and dozens of selfish addicts on the bridge creating a smog for respectable people to wall through whilst holding their breath.

Fascinating. Addiction and it's effect on otherwise rational people.
