Oh yes and the nurses, but they are the ones without the IV poles

Jim, . . . and the physicians, the respiratory therapists, the x-ray technicians, the clerks, the paramedics, and, in fact, a well-represented cross-section and respectable percentage of the rest of the hospital staff. I was working in a hospital that went completely nonsmoking in 1986. At any given time, one could see at least 25 hospital workers and patients--replete with IV poles--congregated around a very large ashtray at the ambulance entry doors. And nobody ever seemed to be able to find a time to empty that ashtray, as it was always in use. BTW, many of us felt that we met the nicest people around the ashtray, people we otherwise probably would never have met. Shortly after this short-sighted edict came from on high, one of the hospital administrators had occasion to remark that it was a darn shame that they hadn't thought of balconies when they built the hospital.
