Smoking in hospitals

Letter August 03, 2015
Many do not seem to care for those hospitalised and continue engaging in the damaging habit within hospital buildings

TURBAT: Unfortunately, every hospital in Turbat is beset by people smoking cigarettes inside the premises. A hospital is a place for treatment where patients go in order to seek cures for their ailments. However, regrettably, many do not seem to care for those who are hospitalised and continue engaging in the damaging habit within hospital buildings.

The administrations of hospitals seem helpless in taking action on this issue. I request the government to take this concern seriously and take action as soon as possible so that second-hand smoking inside hospitals does not bring further harm to the lives of patients who are there for treatment of their illnesses.
