Most NHS hospitals now operate a total non-smoking poilcy for staff on-site. However, when these policies first started some ten to fifteen years ago, most hospitals had to provide a "staff smoking room" to prevent mass rioting! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
But the most successful implementation of this that I came across in the various hospitals that I worked in whilst I was training was:
Small room, no furniture, no air conditioning, no windows, and rarely cleaned...
... but most important of all, the room was situated in the entrance lobby of the mortuary!

I've never seen so many staff give up smoking so quickly.
Incidentally, next time you visit a hospital, look at the floor around the entrance doors. Maybe the smell and the mess all those butts cause will put you off. <img src="mad.gif" border="0">
