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?
That’s a lot of money wasted on idiots with a stupid habit
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.
Yes but rates are very high in Asia so you have to work with what you currently have.
Good point.
I see an absolute win
Because he’s locking them in a room without air circulating.
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?
That doesn’t give you a right to suffocate them.
A phone booth is not a large supply of oxygen.
I’m not entirely sure you’d want someone smoking around a large supply of oxygen, either.
To be serious, though, I’ve seen some places where they seal the entryway to a dedicated smoking room a bit better and vent the smoke outside. I feel like that would be safer/more practical than smoking booths.
But you can’t smoke outside a hospital either.
you know where there is a large supply of oxygen?
OUTSIDE
WHERE EVERY NORMAL SMOKER GOES
These are not used to kill people…
If you actually “lock people in a closed phone booth sized space until the smoke is gone”, you are absolutely taking a significant risk of someone dying. You need airflow to replace oxygen in a space that small.
Given that it’s a hospital, I doubt that they’d be using anything that’s likely to kill someone.
Read what he’s describing. He’s basically saying “fuck smokers, they get what they get”. “Fuck smokers” is fine, but if you’re deliberately trying to trap them in a tiny, contained room that you’re not circulating air through, they will be deprived of oxygen.
You’re talking about people who are willing to smoke inside a hospital around patients even though they are not allowed. Also nothing like a phone booth is airtight.
Fire and large sources of oxygen do not mix peacefully.
Yes they do. All the time. It’s only condensed sources of oxygen that superheat. That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about a locked room that only holds a couple minutes of breathable air he wants to keep air from flowing through and keep people from breathing.
Fire hazard? Nahhhhh
he would use previously donated public telephone booth
who is donating used telephone booths to a hospital
What do you do with your used telephone booths?
Anyone ever wonder how Superman actually changed in one of those things without destroying everything in there?
No. But I will now.
well i smoke in them.
actually they would probably be a pretty good hotbox
Now I’m not sure if the Plan of the Hospital won’t backfire
None of your business what I do with them!
I call my used telephone booth guy, of course.
They have those at airports.
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.
