Only two months after smoking areas were erected at two hospitals, the desire to go smoke-free on the premises will eliminate the smoking rooms entirely and replace them with smoking shelters.
NHS Lothian (Scottland) will eliminate smoking rooms at Royal Edinburgh as well as at Astley Ainslie. The will then provide smoking shelters in it's phased shut down of the indoor smoking areas. The Health Board claims the action will assist smokers in quitting.
The Health Board states, "These shelters will act as a platform to promote our stop smoking services, to encourage people to seek help to give up smoking from one of our dedicated smoking cessation nurses."

Reporters don’t write headlines. They’re generally written by copy editors.

I was strolling around Sydney, Australia one morning, and came across two scaffolding guys wearing their company t-shirts....which offered "erections". It's a brit kinda term.

Probably a copy editor trying to be funny; reporters don’t write the headlines.

Reporters don’t always write their own headlines.
