Will do. There was a little flurry about the mental health patients last spring, but I haven't heard of any legislation repealing the loss of the mental health patients right to smoke. Right now the only thing they can do in the hospital is whine at you if you light up in the bathroom or sneak outside for a butt. Or the nurses will have the doctor "talk to you".

I have been wondering what the mental health hospital patients are doing now that the idiot administrator made it all smoke free. I guess they would rather pump the patients full of high powered drugs, then let them release their stress with a cigarette. Absolutely immoral, this is.

It's all about those grants. The mental hospital probably has a new "electric shock machine" lined up that they can't afford. So, by preventing their patients from smoking, the can get this grant. Talk about Blood Money!

It's been reported that doing this increases the incidence of violence towards the staff and other patients.

Of course this whole thing was a fiasco from the beginning...IF the people vote for it, the insurance companies will make out big time, if they can get it away from the the welfare agencies...

If it's voted against, the gov't still keeps it to cover it's exhistance...

I'd like to see everyone quit smoking just to cheat the politicians out of their easy windfall...
