The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

The booths will be equipped with lock sensors which detect smoke. When smoke in such booths disappears, the doors will be automatically unlocked and defiant smokers can then leave the booths, he wrote.

Why not? If it's too hard to leave the hospital to smoke, then what's the problem with having a smokeroom?

Maj Gen Dr Rienthong Nanna, the director of the private hospital in the capital's Laksi district, wrote on his Facebook account on Sunday that he would use previously donated public telephone booths to discipline anyone who defies the smoking ban at his hospital.

At least they were donated booths.

Yes but rates are very high in Asia so you have to work with what you currently have.

Smokers have options. They can not smoke, smoke in the booth, or walk 50 feet away from the hospital to smoke.

Why should sick people be inhaling their tar breath?
