Proposed administrative rules for institutions that receive a substantial amount of government funding should be placed on the Internet and given a comment period. That's why the Utah Board of Regents removed e-cigarettes from their proposed smoke-free rule -- Utah residents became informed before the vote and made their thoughts known.
The good news, as always, is that use of the safest smoke-free products -- snus and e-cigarettes -- are not easily detectable.

"The change will be announced to patients after Jan. 1 through letters. The hospital may also launch a campaign in which other employees pledge to give up bad habits, like consuming caffeine, in support of coworkers who quit smoking."
This shouldn't be a pledge it should be a ban of caffeine and other bad habits such as consuming twinkies. If low risk products such as snus and E Cigs are banned, certainly fatty and obesity aiding foods as well as caffeine, often laced with another addictive product should also face the wrath of the prohibitionists.

While you are definitely right that is the next logical step for a Nanny State, I don't think that is what people really want as much as what they are willing to accept because they dislike tobacco so very much. If we get too focused on what the next phase of the prohibitionist agenda might bring, we risk forgetting to address the root cause. The prohibitionists keep themselves busy "fighting the war on tobacco" by picking off low risk products like snus and claim that is helping to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with tobacco use, when in reality it is effectively promoting mortality and morbidity associated with tobacco use". They even chant the mantra "quit or die" hoping we won't notice which industry stands to profit the most from events surrounding an increase in death or disease....The idiocrats will just blame it on the tobacco companies.
Yes, let's get all the employees to give up bad habits that they use as tools to stay awake, concentrate, pay attention, think straight, recall facts, remember what they are doing, and remember what they need to get done.
Once their performance goes down, they can go see their doctor and get the acceptable tools prescribed to them, such as amphetamines.

I remember when I worked in a nursing home. I didn't smoke at all when I was at work, even on my breaks, because I couldn't stand the comments from the anti's. But, wow, I wish I had known about smokeless alternatives back then. I would have had at least one smokeless product in my mouth at all times. That would have been bliss.
I'm surprised a bit by the ban in mental health institutes. For years psychologists have fought it as there is a connection with nicotine and the behavior of the seriously mentally ill. It appears to calm them and keep them a bit more focused when compared to patients who never indulged. P.V.s may just be the answer...
How about a pledge that employers mind their own blasted business about what LEGAL activities their workers might choose to enjoy in their private lives.
Honestly, what's the matter with this d@*n country?
