In the UK this morning the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has announced

that it wants to see a complete ban on smoking on hospital grounds.  You can read more on the BBC’s web site. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-25101420

However Andrew M Brown in a blog today’s Daily Telegraph described such a ban as “sadistic and wrong”.  He feels this is especially the case for people in mental hospitals.  You can read his very interesting blog here http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/andrewmcfbrown/100247975/banning-smoking-in-hospitals-would-be-sadistic-and-wrong/

So we thought we would run a poll to find out what you think.  See below.

And what do you think about the Andrew M Brown blog.  Please use the comments box to share your views.

Thanks very much!
