people are not well in nursing homes....they don't need smoke filtering around ....
plus, people WORK in nursing homes...unless you are prepared to pay untold millions and millions to workers required to be around smoke...
of course, you will say..." they can just get another job"...well, SOMEBODY has got to work in nursing homes.....its labor intensive you know.....
They have smoking lounges for the residents that smoke. It's not a safety issue and no one else in the nursing home has to be surrounded by smoke. It's ridiculous to tell these people they can't smoke in their own home because the nursing home is just that, their home.

Well, you spew a lot of crock and you know it.
Many seniors that have to go to nursing homes aren't sick! They might not be able to walk very well, etc, but not all of them are SICK!
And do you really want a senior who has smoked all of their adult lives to be cut off from something that they really enjoy? If so, you are one cool babe! I can't believe you actually think that the day a senior goes into a home, their quality of life should end. Shame on you!
As for prissy nose nurses that don't want to be around smoke, what's wrong with having a room with a big fan and an open window for the smokers? Many of the health care workers smoke as well. And one of the smoking health care workers could keep the room clean. Where there is a will there is a way.
But if I ever have to go to a nursing home, and they want to cut off my smoking JUST SHOOT ME!!
Nobody has to work in nursing homes; employment is still voluntary.
So then hire smokers if non-smokers are too afraid to work there.
This just makes me wonder, how many non-smokers are firefighters and do they bitch about a little smoke?
So...you are in favor of pushing granny down the stairs?
For heaven's sake, this is elder abuse.
