20 years ago you could smoke inside the hospital although it was generally restricted to the TV lounge on each ward.

50 years ago a consultant used to smoke when he was doing his rounds!

Or whilst still fastened to a IV drip.

Hmm...

An old man in my ward leaned out of the window and lit up a fag, complaining that he was not allowed to smoke anywhere in the hospital. A nurse gave him a stern lecture about it.

A porter taking me down for a CT scan told me that he had seen 2 young men pushing their mate out to the car park in his hospital bed so he could smoke in the designated smoking area.

I was in the hospital with lungs that were barely working well enough to keep me alive. That week was very warm so the ward's windows were open all day and the smoke from the smoking area outside was blowing up the side of the building and into the ward, which made my breathing even less effective!

Thing is - it you have just been told that your loved on is dying then a smoker will need a fag to be able to support them

so - outside a hospital or in a cemetery are one of the few places where I would never criticise someone for smoking
you just don;t know what they are going through

Tbh, if you’ve just been told you have 3 months to live is there any point in giving up smoking at that point?
Time for a Vegas blow out (if possible) imo.

Maybe not, but in a hospital with pure oxygen around, it's not a good idea.

Which is exactly what the nurse told the old smoker in my ward!

Why, Oxygen doesn't burn or explode.

And have already had their legs amputated due to the associated circulatory problems...

Try telling that to someone in an oxygen tent!

"I'm sorry Mrs Smith, but your husband exploded earlier whilst trying to light up..." 🤣

Possibly, but when you're 9 months pregnant?

An IV drip and an oxygen mask are two separate things.
And the smoking area is outside.

Yeahbut everyone was banging on about smokers.
