It's pretty stupid to block it based on tobacco, since eCigs are not tobacco. Then again, they are in competition with eCigs if you take the view that they are a for profit enterprise allied with the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries. In that way, it makes sense that they can allow or block whomever (competition for example) they desire on their free WiFi network. They aren't the government and are under no legal or ethical obligation to provide unfettered access to anything. McDonalds and Starbucks block some firearms websites and forums, so I guess it's pretty much par for the course and not unusual.
Hmmm Blocked because they strive for a family friendly environment.

Having worked in Hospital IT departments for over a decade (medical informatics) quit'cher [Moderated]' it's FREE
so to be part of the SOLUTION, while you're waiting, call their IT department, there's some guy there stuck in a cubie and he can edit the filter for you. (once you explain politely what it is, and he'll allow it)
Hope you're ok?

Times have really changed... I used to order all my cartons of smokes in emergency room limbo.
In all seriousness, I hope you (or whoever you're escorting to the ER) makes it out safe and sound. I think the GF and I will be taking her mom to the ER later, what fun!

Try logging onto a firearms website. Bet that is blocked, too. Their facility; their rules.
To be fair, it's quite possible they block the site because of the word "cigarette" in the name, and aren't targeting ECF specifically. A lot of filters are rule-based (rather than a specific list of sites to block).
I wonder if it will let you onto a site for breast cancer survivors?

No problem since I have hotspot capability on my phone (still in the ER!) but I had high hopes coming in this morning given the sign in front of the hospital states a TOBACCO free zone. Most times you see smoke free so I was thinking they were at least somewhat progressive in this regard, but then pffffft!
category: tobacco
I wonder what category NRT's fall under since they contain the same ingredients.
I wonder if they block the category of drugs too?
Might be fun to play with, see what else they block.
My local ER (attached to a univ teaching hosp) was not blocked.
There's been a couple of times the "trusted" rating for ECF showed blocked - ANTZ trolls.
