Do you live in WA state? The same thing happened at the Veterans retirement home in Retsil. The first barrage came in 1986 or so, when a new administrator locked a gate that opened across the street from a tavern that catered to the vets. If they wanted an excursion off grounds he posited, they could ride the bus. Soon after, they banned smoking in rooms. I have heard that they now ban smoking on the grounds, although I cannot verify this, as my friend no longer works there.

No, Delaware. But it sounds pretty much like what they did here.

What is your point? If they are terminally ill, who cares if they smoke?

Well, we wouldn’t want terminally ill people dying, would we?

And to think, it wasn't that long ago that cigarettes were a routine part of a menu:

When will people stand up and shout: “We’re TERMINAL from the moment we’re born! Leave us alone!”

(Of course, that only works if we’ve been lucky enough to have a mother that will carry us to term!)

Grrrrrr!
