The safety issue is another thing altogether.

Don't forget...it's likely many of the residents are on oxygen therapy. That doesn't mix well with smoking.

I've been around nursing homes for most of my life. Up until about 10 years ago, no one gave smoking a second thought. Many homes still have smoking lounges with scheduled smoking breaks for residents. Few allow them to smoke in their rooms.

The oxygen safety issue is a non-starter. There has been smoking in nursing homes and use of oxygen for well over a half a century.

Mrs Mock said the home used to have a small room where smokers could light up. But she said the smoking ban in the building has now been enforced for health and safety reasons.

The home used to have a small room for smokers, so I doubt very much if there was oxygen around.  Stop spinning.
