Windsor Regional Hospital is kicking what many consider a bad habit. As of April 1, there will be no smoking on any hospital property, including parking lots and bus shelters.
The new policy has upset some, such as Mike Eansor.
"It's ridiculous, because I'm in a wheelchair, I'm crippled, and it's difficult to get around. It's just not right," Eansor said.
Student Andrew Bradt thinks it's a good plan.
"I think it might be a good. If people are really motivated to go and smoke, then they'll go and do it," he said. "[But] if you're in the hospital it might not be a good idea for you to be smoking anyway, depending on your condition."
The policy has support from hospital staff. A survey showed 72 per cent of employees support it.
"The hospital has a responsibility as a healthcare organization to be role models by developing and supporting policies that are in the best interest of health and wellness," reads a posting on the hospital's website.
