My wife has worked at a nursing home. They have already stated that no matter what laws are passed there is one thing lawmakers cannot change.
A nursing home is exactly that.....their HOME!
While the nursing home is forcing employees to exit the property to have a cig, the residents have a designated smoking area. They get it, the gov't cannot dictate at home!

That's why I can't understand how some nursing homes are allowed to get away with this. Forcing the aged, frail and sick elders outside to smoke. This is totally over the top.
