Does anyone here know the names of state mental institutions that allow patients to smoke cigarettes or e-cigs (like outside)?! Does anyone know where I could go (like a website, or organization, etc.) that might know of the names of these state mental institutions?! Hope everyone is doing great, and thanks for the help!!
Here is a quote from a recent article:
“While most psychiatric units do not allow smoking indoors, many only have partial smoke-free policies in place. This enables psychiatric patients to smoke outdoors on hospital grounds, often despite total smoking bans (indoor and outdoor) being in place for all other patients”
When my son was in a locked ward after the smoking ban, he was given a nicotine patch which was helpful.
