    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.

        At least they were donated booths.

        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?
