No more smoke breaks at a hospital in Southern Virgina.
Memorial Hospital in Martinsville is banning all tobacco use on its property.
That includes in parked cars and outside medical office buildings.
"If I can't smoke all day here at work, then I just need to stop smoking period," said longtime smoker and employee of the hospital Carol Blades.
Hospital CEO Skip Philips says the idea came from a staff meeting on healthy lifestyles.
"There was three initiatives that came out of that. One was to work on exercise and healthy eating, one was to work on healthy eating habits, and the third was to becoming tobacco free as a campus," Philips said.
According to the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association Memorial Hospital is one of the last in the state to become smoke free.
