This is all a control thing.For one how are you going to tell adults they cant smoke.The last time I looked it was not against the law.Yes I also understand it not being at any of the entrance doors,but just not to let any one smoke at all BULL....Just being at the hospital is stressful enough but to say you can not even go to your car,thats wrong.The ones that make these rules do not smoke nor do they do any kind of patient care in the hospital.If they would think for one minute about the employees,and about the ones that smoke well that 15 minute smoke break calms the nerves if you are having a bad day or night at work.And believe me you have more bad days than you do good working in the medical field.So they need to take this whole NO smoking policy and stick it.And I dont even smoke any more but I know what people that do smoke feel like.
