I visited CAH A&E this week and when I left in the evening, I waited for my lift home at the pick up point by the main front entrance. I was disappointed to see so many people smoking cigarettes despite the ‘smoke free site’ advertising on every bollard. I think that if the hospital/trust truly wished to uphold these standards, they cannot rely on the honesty of the general public. I even witnessed a health care assistant help a patient light up with the offer of their lighter.
It is inevitable people will smoke so why not create a designated area rather than uphold an unrealistic expectation of a smoke-free site?
