Only two months after smoking areas were erected at two hospitals, the desire to go smoke-free on the premises will eliminate the smoking rooms entirely and replace them with smoking shelters.

NHS Lothian (Scottland) will eliminate smoking rooms at Royal Edinburgh as well as at Astley Ainslie. The will then provide smoking shelters in it's phased shut down of the indoor smoking areas. The Health Board claims the action will assist smokers in quitting.

The Health Board states, "These shelters will act as a platform to promote our stop smoking services, to encourage people to seek help to give up smoking from one of our dedicated smoking cessation nurses."

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar .... and people might need a place to smoke them. Perhaps they should concider a re-erection

[Pessimist]

I thought smoking generally increased after an erection.

[Rippin]

I thought it was more traditional to have the smoke after the erection.

[JamesP81]

Do these reporters actually read the headlines they write?

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

Don’t get cocky now...

[Mr. K]

By the headline I thought this was going to be about fire dangers associated with Viagra

And...the attribution is from

The SHORT News! Ya cain’t make this schmidt up!

[The_Victor]

I hate it when that happens.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Good lawd. I’m reading the posts on this thread.........and I REALLY needed a good laugh! LOL!

[steve-b]

Changing the rules so fast is just dicking people around.

[Red Badger]

Oh, I always.............uh, nevermind............

[knarf]

My vote for the best, and first of the new year ... “head”line.

[MeanWestTexan]

If this was San Fransico, they would smoke the ere. . .

[Red Badger]

I predict this thread will disappear in 5....4.....3....2......1......

[maclay]

That’s one way to clear a smoking room

[andy58-in-nh]

Maybe I ought to solicit the help of one of their “dedicated smoking cessation nurses” to help me with my cigar habit.

[GUNGAGALUNGA]

That headline blows.

[blackie]

This might prick your interest??

[gimme1ibertee]

Hopefully this thread won’t peter out.We’d all get the shaft,and no one would get ahead.

[JennysCool]

“Do you smoke after sex?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never looked.”

[Wyatt's Torch]

This is one erection certain to last longer than four hours...

[Billthedrill]

Nope, not me. Too easy.

[gimme1ibertee]

Ahhh....
nothing like a good cigar and a stiff one to end the day.

[Centurion2000]

So the smokers are being prematurely ejected from the building?

[Borges]

Reporters don’t write headlines. They’re generally written by copy editors.

I was strolling around Sydney, Australia one morning, and came across two scaffolding guys wearing their company t-shirts....which offered "erections". It's a brit kinda term.

(They wouldn't sell me a shirt....; I tried)

[gimme1ibertee]

The SHORT News! Ya cain’t make this schmidt up!

The "shrinkage factor" must have been involved.

[Paladin2]

Erection or election?

[weegee]

In before the Clinton photos.

[rwfromkansas]

Probably a copy editor trying to be funny; reporters don’t write the headlines.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Notice it’s from Scotland. From personal experience, kilts get pretty chilly out on the moors and fens.

[LucyJo]

Reporters don’t always write their own headlines.

[gimme1ibertee]

Well....there ya go! :)

[library user]

I thought it read “ELECTION” at first too, but it’s actually “ERECTION.”

[lormand]

"What's all this fuss about smoke rooms and erections?"

[dfwgator]

I thought it read “ELECTION” at first too, but it’s actually “ERECTION.

Maybe this story came from a Tokyo newspaper.

[abb]

[McGruff]

As John McCain has said "Erections have consequences".

[loungitude]

Another boner from the planning people.

[PompeiusMagnus]

Is this why we have gone to the primary system, to eliminate this problem from the old smoke filled rooms of party systems?

[Mad Dawg]

Perhaps they should concider a re-erection

That's not always, um, so possible. Consider that this is being reported by ShortNews. Just sayin'.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Do these reporters actually read the headlines they write?

Probably not. I think the reporter really blew it.

[Chances Are]

As Confucius say,

“Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day!”

CA....

[badgerlandjim]

Wow! This thread is giving me a thrill up my leg!

[maine-iac7]

Do these reporters actually read the headlines they write?

FYI for y'all: the "reporters" write the story - the EDITORS write the headline...

[katiekins1]

One wonders if Leon Panetta will enforce his anti-smoking agenda on Mr. Obama! I doubt it!

[OB1kNOb]

What bone-headed peckerwood thought up this article title?

[DustyMoment]

Smoking Rooms Eliminated Following Erection

That's just wrong!

[Fresh Wind]

Uh, what if the erection lasts more than four hours?
