Smoking Bans and Slial Tobacco
I work at a psychiatric hospital. Recently, both patients and staff have been absolutely up in arms. Why? Because, beginning on November 1, there will be a ban on smoking on the entire property. Cigarettes have long been an essential staple of the social life of our patients, as well as a great way for staff members to take breaks and interact with each other. Now that this will no longer be the case, I wonder if everyone will take up skoal tobacco as an alternative. There is even a dry version out there now that does not require spitting. Chances are, we will all find this to be very useful, instead of walking off property to grab a cigarette.
