Duh! A hospital promotes health. And yes there is a rich environment of oxygen. And yes for the other patients, we get patients with acute respiratory problems, smoking could put them over the edge to needing to be put on a respirator

smoking is bad and it damages the lungs...everyone is already sick in a hospital want them to be sicker??????

second hand smoke causes cancer. medical practitioners want a place without the hazards of cancer inducing activities.


path2631
one its dangers to your health, two second hand smoke kills more people than more people who. two they have million dollar equipment that can be damaged. they also have things that catch on fire really quick.

Uh...because it's incredibly unhealthy for everyone.

Because hospitals are about fixing people and promoting health. And being that smoking AND SECOND HAND smoking causes lung cancer, they do not allow it. Here in West Michigan, nurses and doctors aren't even allowed to smoke on the hospital property anymore. That's how serious it is.


kt
there are a number of reasons. 1. its unhealthy and they want you to quit.
2. second hand smoke is dangerous.
3. you could cause a fire
4. you could cause an explosion
5. if may cause patients to become nauseous.
6. i could go on forever but i think i stop here. ;)

It is a government regulation and city ordinance.
Hospital and government buildings have to provide a designated smoking area.


Sunshine
The only reason I know of is that there are laws, codes and ordinances which state that a person cannot smoke (and this is not only in hospitals, it is wherever there is a sign).

Ah. Back in the day, you could smoke in your hospital room. No kidding. My mother had back surgery in the 60's and she smoked---in Walter Reed Medical Center. And my father was in the hospital in 1970 for CANCER and even he smoked in his room. At least until the cancer got so bad. He had to stop shortly before he died. (No it wasn't lung cancer.) Once they got the warnings out on the cigarette packages and they found proof of how bad they are for your health AND second-hand smoke, too......that was it. No more smoking in the hospital.

Lax, I think the other people answered your question, so i will direct my answer to "Moe" who answered before me. First, you are rude. Secondly, if there are "dumb questions" there there are also accompanying "dumb answers." Your sarcastic answer of "what do you get when you mix oxygen and smoke" ??? The answer would be oxygen-enriched smoke. Oxygen mixed with fire? Still not an explosion. Oxygen is not explosive, it is an accelerant.
Lax, ask all the questions you want. That's how we learn!
