      I wouldn’t use anything that I have to breath out into a hospital room but I will say I bring my off brand zyn when I get put in for more than a night. All my local will give you is a 2mg nicorette every 2 hours and you have to ask each time. It’s absolutely torture to be withdrawing in a hospital.

            In my hospital we do it. We have a ward where the patients can’t leave the room at any time because they’re there for continuous diagnostic testing, so this is how they keep the smokers in place.

        It depends. Might be against hospital policy, but it also depends on the circumstances and staff that catch you.

        Get caught vaping nicotine after surgery while on oxygen and an RN catches you? Problem.

        Get caught vaping THC, not on oxygen on oncology/hospice? Depends on the staff whether they’ll notice it or not.

          The library my wife runs has detectors in the bathroom that let them know if someone is vaping in there, so hospitals might too these days.
