As a former (50 year) smoker I gotta agree with this.

I am really sensitive to smoke odors nowadays.

I don't advocate banning butts but(!) I'd just as soon avoid the smell.

I agree. I smoked three to five packs a day for twenty years. Then quit about ten years ago. When you are smoking you have no idea how revolting the stench is to those around you.

Even when I was smoking though I don't think I would have complained about not being allowed to smoke at a Children's Hospital.

I think smokers today bring a lot of grief on themselves by trying to defend the public act of burning weeds, paper and chemicals (smoking) as some sort of Divine Right. Which it clearly is not.

Where I work, I can always tell when co-workers are returning from a smoke break. The odor permeates even though the building is no-smoking.

This is a CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, remember? Tiny lungs. Breathing tubes, etc.

Not sure if moving them off the property makes a big enough difference, but I can see where there is more of a health risk at issue than your typical bar or restaurant.
