Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

Are you for real??!!. The main reason for no smoking in hospital's is for the patients and the staff who have to try to breathe. How would you like it if you were lying there after abdominal surgery and some inconsiderate boob was blowing smoke in your face? You start coughing and see how severe pain can be a motivating factor to have them forcibly removed from the planet. Second hand smoke is as dangerous as any other.

Answer 3

i'm against a smoking ban in wellbeing facility grounds because of the fact i do no longer think of that that's useful or ethical. in spite of the certainty that a wellbeing facility admission may be the optimum time for a lot of human beings to choose for to end smoking, there'll continuously be others who're no longer yet waiting to stop. I even have considered too many sufferers who abstain from smoking for countless weeks at the same time as in wellbeing facility only to restart while they are discharged for this to no longer be the case. additionally, the smoking ban has bring about extra sufferers attempting to have a cunning fag interior the bathrooms or of their rooms- no longer the terrific concept thinking the certainty that those sufferers are, often, on oxygen scientific care! KABOOOM that's important that healthcare experts take a non judgemental mindset to the way their sufferers stay their lives. that's all properly and good to propose and sell smoking cessation. even with the incontrovertible fact that, a wellbeing facility isn't a detention center, and that i in basic terms do no longer think of that's superb to inform somebody off for smoking distinctly in the event that they are demise besides.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 8

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

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