The booths will be equipped with lock sensors which detect smoke. When smoke in such booths disappears, the doors will be automatically unlocked and defiant smokers can then leave the booths, he wrote.
Why not? If it’s too hard to leave the hospital to smoke, then what’s the problem with having a smokeroom?
Maj Gen Dr Rienthong Nanna, the director of the private hospital in the capital’s Laksi district, wrote on his Facebook account on Sunday that he would use previously donated public telephone booths to discipline anyone who defies the smoking ban at his hospital.
I’m not entirely sure you’d want someone smoking around a large supply of oxygen, either.
To be serious, though, I’ve seen some places where they seal the entryway to a dedicated smoking room a bit better and vent the smoke outside. I feel like that would be safer/more practical than smoking booths.
