Westin banned smoking but not crazed employees.

My favorite smoking ban story comes from Madison, Wisconsin - where one hospital's nursing staff picketed the hospital to allow smoking in the psychiatric ward. the state's indoor clean air act had years before banned smoking in public facilities - but the nursing crew recognized the increase in violence among the nut cases when the smoking ban went into effect. So you had nurses picketing for the right to be exposed to second hand smoke in order to reduce a workplace hazard. Only in Madison!
