| + Hospital smoking policy .| . revised for patients, visitors At the December meeting of the Board of Governors of Community Memorial Hospital, Port Perry, the hospital policy on smoking in the hospital was reviewed and revised. It was felt necessary to make the policy more responsive to the needs of the majority of its pa- tients, visitors and staff. The hospital as a health care facility endeavours to provide services to meet the needs of the community . it serves. Smoking is a recognized health hazard, both for those who smoke, and for those who must share the same air as the smoker. Many pa- tients in the hospital are suffering from diseases of the respiratory system such as asthma, pneumonia, croup and bronchitis. Smoke in the air makes breathing more difficult for these people in particular and in some cases can trigger a severe attack of difficult breathing. It is because of these very important considerations that smoking within the hospital is to be more care- fully controlled. One of the major obstacles in designating specific smoking areas for patients within the hospital is the lack of space. Institutions that are larger and have more lounges can segregate smoking from non-smoking areas. The Board has attempted to consider all aspects of the problem in order to arrive at a compromise solution. While trying not to encour- age smoking, the Board realizes that there are some patients who find it difficult to refrain from smoking during their time in hospital. Therefore, patients who have their physician's permission to smoke may do so; however, this is not encouraged. ; Naturally, the treatment of a patient takes priority over someone's wish to. smoke. The patient-care areas of the hospital, includ- ing the Emergency and Admitting waiting area, will be marked with 'No Smoking' signs and as has been done previously, there will be strict adherence tv the "No Smoking" rule where oxygen is in use or stored. Hospital visitors are now being asked to refrain from smoking anywhere in the hospital. We feel that visi- tors are in the building for relatively short periods of time and it is not unreason- able to ask that they wait until they leave before they smoke. } Those hospital staff members who smoke may continue to do so in staff lounges and previously designated smoking areas. It should be pointed out, however, that the majority of hospital staff members are non-smokers. It is hoped that these measures, once instituted and enforced, will assist the hospital in provid- ing a therapeutic environ- ment for those in need of hospital care.
