We might not have talked about this in class. It is addressed in the mental health and smoking literature and I will happily post a wee BB update for the class. Thank you for raising this issue.
 

First all general hospitals are smoke-free and all general hospitals have been providing cessation support to patients for at least 10 years. All admissions are (meant to be) asked if they smoke and if so, they are offered a brief intervention and cessation support. Second, I don't know if your friend is referring to general or mental health wards. The idea that mental health patients will not seek help and will self-discharge prematurely is not supported by the literature. It falls into what I refer to as a 'belief' or as others would say a 'myth'. It is also one of the ideas that is used to argue against smoke-free mental health wards. 15 years ago it was probably used as an argument against smoke-free general hospitals.

 

Katie - one way to approach this is to imagine a pair of scales with the evidence about health and wellbeing effects on one side and then various beliefs and practices on the other side.  Then have a look at the New Zealand Health and Disability Act 2000 - see the objectives (section 22) for District Health Board and ask which side of the scales is consistent with the DHB achieving its objectives and form your view.
