in their gowns with IV pole in tow. Is there anything more pathetic?
You're in the fricking hospital, and I have a pretty good guess of what helped you get here.

Having to go to the hospital for treatment is trashy

I like to go there with a cigar.
That really drives them mad when they ask you to stop smoking and you go...."Well......"

those people are losers.
The way to go is to dip, then you can just do it right there in your bed.

Its way worse now. Hospitals used to have designated smoking areas. Fenced in "cancer corrals" if you will. Now pretty much all hospitals are "smoke free." Of course patients and employees still smoke but the only place they can do it is right in front of the hospital on the sidewalk with thousands of cars passing by.
This smoke free campus thing is a dumb farce.

Hospital staff said patients would constantly ask to be taken outside. Patients maintained that they didn’t want to go outside alone to smoke because they were afraid they would get sick while outside. Those that did risked getting frostbite. Guards told of patients who were “pushing this IV pole all the way down the sidewalk in the snow” after they were told they couldn’t smoke on hospital grounds. One wheelchair patient was locked outside on a winter night because he couldn’t see the sign saying the doors lock after certain hours. The sign, placed at eye level, was too high for him to see.
Another dangerous scenario documented by the researchers was of patients in isolation due to infection smoking outside, then tossing their used cigarette butts on the ground. The discarded butts could potentially spread disease if picked up and smoked by another person desperately wanting a smoke.

I remember seeing a pregnant woman with her husband, as well as an old woman in an IV smoking outside the hospital the last time I went, which was probably 6-7 years ago.

Maybe just mind your own fricking business, pal.

so if it's a car wreck or something, it happened because of smoking?
