In light of the recent court decision to pay a large amount of money to guests of HM the Queen, who were forced to go "cold turkey" from their regular heroin fix without any treatment, would a patient, who is also a nicotine adict, have a case if he decided to go the same legal route with one of those hospital administrative bodies who have banned smoking?

It would certainly make an interesting case.
I can"t see any difference.
Some people who smoke certainly get very agitated when they are not allowed to smoke. i.e. on long haul flights, so maybe they might have a claim against the health authorities for being denied their right to smoke.

Give it a try, we seem to have come to a stage in this country where we are shocked but not surprised, and then we just shrug our shoulders.
