        Good. There a clear signs telling people not to smoke outside the hospital doors, if they are too selfish to adhere to this rule then they deserve to be shamed

        We're really glad you like the system we made, Dan. If you want to know more about it read our article and tag your local hospital in so they can see i: http://bit.ly/2pZK7Nt  #stopsmoking #stoptober #smokingloudspeaker #smokefree

        Rightfully so! Smoking should be banned with 20 metres of non-smokers. Just because you wanted to be cool when you were a teenager and are too weak to quit, you don't have the right to blow your horrid smelling carcinogens in my direction. Inconsiderate pathetic scumbags.

        Brilliant. The maternity wards are above/next to the hospital main entrance so any smokers outside are potentially causing new mums and babies to inhale second hand smoke. The paper signs did nothing to help stop them when I was in having my daughter!

        It's disgusting treatment like this that makes me want to start smoking again. Dictatorial anti smoking krypto fascists really get on my nerves.

        There’s a sign by my local school that says “20” so I drive at 70mph on the pavement at 8.30am during term time. No one tells me what to do either

        As long as smoking is legal we can do without this sort of behaviour. Drug addicts (illegal) are treated with more respect. Give smokers a proper safe place to carry out their legal right.

        Ah well and all the talk on the media about loneliness, self confidence and not feeling good about yourself this will help but they do say northerners are not the brightest

        To be fair is hard to get to the smoking shelter when you're attached to a drip.

        No, smoking at a hospital door where people are going for their treatment is not just Orwellian it’s Dickensian and damned dangerous for seriously ill people!

        This kind of paternalist rubbish is so offensive it makes me want to take up smoking.
