What the petition asks
This petition is to have smoking areas near hospital entrances moved further back. This will stop people smoking or vaping near hospital entrances where the young, sick, elderly and their visitors pass through. It is unsafe to those on oxygen and those with already established respiratory problems.
As someone who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis, I frequently find my self battling through clouds of smoke to be able to access the hospital where I receive my medical care. This is unhealthy to anyone accessing the hospital, regardless of their medical condition. It is very inconsiderate to others.
