The decision to come out against a smoking ban was an incredibly hard one to make. But in our opinion the rights of over a million veterans must be protected. And in the interest of full disclosure yes I do smoke myself.

So, not even an outdoor smoking section for patients or visitors will be permitted?

I couldn't help but notice, however, employees will still be allowed to smoke.

So a patient, a veteran, will not be allowed to use the employee smoking area?

I ask this as a veteran and a former smoker.

Nice to see someone take a stand against this insanity.

No, I do not smoke.

But smokers might as well be required to sew a yellow star on their clothes.

The discrimination against smokers has become insane.

I read your position wrong and thought you were supporting the smoking ban.

My apologies.

I hope you don’t have the same theory about firearms. On top of that, you may not like “second hand smoke” but it ain’t going to hurt you.
