Warding off smoke

Re “No smoking: That means you too, Nurse,” Jan. 21

It is a good idea to ban smoking inside hospitals. After all, hospitals are there so that people can receive quality healthcare, not be subjected to secondhand smoke. It seems hypocritical for nurses to take smoking breaks while they have patients inside the hospital dying of smoking-related illnesses.
