LETTER: E-cig ban is unfair and too far
I feel it is grossly unfair to do this to people, as going to hospital has got to be the most stressful position for anyone to be in, either as a patient or visitor.
I think this total ban is both unfair and unreasonable since it has yet to be proven that passive smoking from e-cigs, which people are now using as an effective alternative to cigarettes, is harmful to non-smokers. I am sick of hearing all of the scaremongering on this subject, and I know that e-cigs do in fact help to reduce stress levels.

This, in my opinion, is going too far, and could be detrimental to health far worse than is being acknowledged by the hospital.
It really is a ‘nanny state’. I know that some people will disagree with what I am saying, but by the same rule I am sure that there will be an equal number who will agree.
