title: Enforcing the new 'total' hospital smoking bans.
abstract: No more smoking shacks. No more designated smoking areas. No more smoking in automobiles. No more smokeless tobacco. No tobacco, period, anywhere on hospital property. That is the trend, nationwide, spurred by new Surgeon General warnings and mandated by local ordnances. This article describes the problems faced by some security managers called on to enforce the new "no alternative" smoking bans and how they are solving them.
