How very hypocritcal....AMC is not a top notch hospital, they need to step down off of their high horses...they are a half-adequate care facility at best, (no, I do not care how many stars they claim to have had, that does not impress me, and says nothing compared to the community they serve). They want people to assume responsibility when they do something they don't like (such as smoking on their precious property) but then do not want to assume responsibility when they do something wrong..sorry but things don't work that way, not in the real world, you will not treat me as though it is a privilege, when it is in fact my right to smoke, as long as it is not in your building, I will give you that respect, but that is all you will get, you confuse your bans, with laws, which they are not. Your shelters were plenty far enough away from any danger to your patients, this is an anti-smoking move, please do not put a mask on your true intentions, people know the truth anyway.
