SIR - I am writing in response to the forthcoming smoking ban.

It is a terrible sight when arriving at Worcestershire Royal Hospital to see nurses smoking in their shelters. Yes, they have a choice but do the poor patients, whom they then have to deal with stinking of smoke?

I say, make the whole hospital site a smoke-free zone. You would think that as nurses see the damage smoking does to the patients, they would have more sense in the first place.
