Where there is smoke, there is fire...of a different kind.

Abstract

Tackling the difficult issue of enforcing your hospital's smoke free policy, the author discusses the problems raised by smokers who just won't or can't comply. Strict enforcement, he says, is not always the best policy. The more a whole-hospital community approach is taken to truly create a "smoke free" environment, the more likely it will become uncomfortable for smokers to violate the facility's policy.
