I can see it now - all us smokers 'waiting' on double yellow lines at the entrance to the car park with our engines running so that we don't get a parking ticket. Two pollutants for the price of one

The smoking ban at East Lancs Trust came into force on 1st December 2005. In my opinion, it is failing miserably. They have the staff by the short and curlies, but patients and visitors are a different matter. Patients and visitors are still smoking at the entrances, security does nothing about it. Many of the nursing staff say nothing, myself included.. It is not my job to receive a gobful of abuse from visitors as I am going into work. Staff are going off the premesis during their breaks. Nursing staff do not get paid for their break time like the police do, so they are technically entitled to leave the premesis.
So don't worry about your fag when you come for hospital appointments.....Nobody else does..
