As a non-smoker who was hospitalized in a non-smoking hospital I was curious about those who weren't allowed to smoke. Some seemed to be okay with it since they had those little plastic things with nicotine in them to use instead of cigarettes (anyone know what they're called?) but they all agreed that it was hard to not have a chance to go out a smoke. I, for one, appreciated not smelling cigarette smoke on anyone or in the air but I do think it makes way more sense to allow smokers to smoke while hospitalized in a psych hospital or in a psych ward. Just like drug addicts addicted to cigarettes often hold onto the cigarettes while they get off the other drugs, stabilize, and then maybe try to cut the nicotene addiction. It just makes sense to work on the more pressing problem first.
