At a recent meeting of the hospital's Board of Governs, Dr. Gear Painted out that there is no place where non-smoking patients can go in the hoapital to get away from smoke. All public buildings in Ontario are currently designated smoke-free except in specially designated areas under pro- vincial legislation. The hospital's smok- ing committee has designated both doe - tors' lounges, patient lounge areas, the adjacent to the Outpatient and the back four tables of the cafeteria as smoking areas. Hospital Treasurer Gordon Baxter, a member of the smoking policy commit- tee, believes smoking areas should be easily accessible to patients so there Would be no illicit smoking in washrooms or hospital rooms, and hi fairness to patients who do smoke. Following mon, the Wit, along with suggestions from the board, has been sent ' back to the committee - for revision. •.t F'. R• • `iter fug.' in the sun!
