SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES!
My dear ladies an occasional gentleman, I realize I may upset some people by today’s little ‘Bliss’ but I just wanted to share with you my thoughts.

Yesterday Ronald and I visited a very dear friend who unfortunately is stoically enduring a prolonged stay in our local hospital (when I say local it is about 14 miles away). The dear lady is being very well looked after under our wonderful NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE.

The hospital boasts that the site is a SMOKE FREE SITE.

Unfortunately visitors whether attending appointments or visiting at the main entrance have to RUN THE GAUNTLET of PATIENTS in various states of dress

PUFFING AWAY

AT THEIR CIGARETTES clustered around the entrance!

Almost to prove a point three people were stood directly in front of the sign!

Although the NHS might feel they may ENCOURAGE people to smoke by providing an area away from the entrance for SMOKERS. I think most visiting non-smokers and ill people would appreciate not having to breathe in the smoke or gather the smell onto their clothing.

Yours Coughingly
