IMO it would be very hard to enforce. One time I was in the hospital for
my asthma and there was no smoking in the hospital. A patient in the
next room, that I shared a bathroom with, was smoking in the bathroom
and that gained me another 3 or 4 days in the hospital. If they can't
enforce it in a hospital, I don't think they can do it on a cruise ship.

Sue, did you complain about this?

Oh yes and so did my respitory(sp) therapist and the nurses. It was one
of them who noticed a strange smell and went hunting it down. I don't
know who was more upset, me or the staff.

It was a young man who was sneaking a smoke and he was given a good
talking to. I don't know what was wrong with him, but he was able to go
downstairs and step outside for a smoke. You can't kick a patient out of
the hospital, as you could of kicked someone off the Paradise(grin).

You could make him or his insurance company pay for the 3-4 extra days you
spent in the hospital.

My insurance covered it, but I would of liked to see them go after
him(grin). The staff did get me moved to another room, where I only
shared the bathroom with my roommate.

Your health insurance should not have had to pay for it, HIS shoud have.
Better yet, he should have had to pay something out of pocket, like a fine.

Plus, from what you describe, you could have had cause to be compensated for
"pain and suffering" for which he would be additionally liable.

Nice sentiment but no way to collect.

Nice sentiment but you would have to file suit for any compensation.

Most times there is no justice for the actions of rude/clueless folk.

Most places, it's not just against hospital policy, it's flat out
illegal. He should have been fined for his behavior.
