Hospital Campus is supposed to be smoke free

I am at Windsor Regional Hospital quite a few times a week and while I love most aspects of the hospital there is one thing that really bothers me. The campus is supposed to be smoke free with areas set apart for smokers, however, I see so many people smoking right outside the doors and close to the building. The smoking ban never seems to be enforced and I find those who ignore the rule of no smoking on campus are ignorant. I am a smoker and this really bothers me to see not only those breaking this rule but also that the hospital does not enforce this. Even more disturbing is to see people lighting up right outside the doors to the cancer clinic. I also see many employees smoking near entrances to the hospital wearing scrubs and having their hospital ID visible. There are sick people coming and going and those whose health could be seriously compromised by breathing in smoke. Non smokers have no choice but to wade through the smoke to enter or exit the hospital. I'd really like to see the hospital enforce the non smoking rule and also for the smokers to have a bit of respect for others.
