    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.

        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?

    If they called them “hot boxes” instead of “gas chambers,” i think the public support might be stronger.

    “Hey Chad, we’re going light up this joint and gas chamber Alex’s car, want in?”

    just doesn’t work as well.
