[quote quote=122286]Absolutely brilliant idea which is doomed to fail!
The hospital cannot even control its car park so no way is it going to prevent the mums-to-be in their fluffy dressing gowns or people carrying drips from sucking on their cancer sticks next to the “No Smoking” sign!

Yes the reality is that if someone is a full time smoker and they are in hospital they are going to smoke somewhere, it could even be that someone only has a short time to live, and as above who and how can this be enforced.
With regards to hospitals the common sense approach should have been applied by leaving a designated smoking area away from the main entrance for example so as not to infringe on other peoples fresh air, but no in this country there is no common sense any more.
