12 Denver-Area Hospitals To Go Tobacco, Smoke Free
DENVER (CBS4) ―
Twelve Denver area hospitals will make their campuses completely tobacco free later this summer. The move, announced Monday, means for the first time, all the acute care hospitals in the metro area will ban smoking and other tobacco products.
Even smoking in a car in the hospitals' parking lots will be banned.
HealthONE, Centura Health, and Denver Health are taking part in the new tobacco free initiative.
The new policy will mean no use of cigarettes, cigars, or even chewing tobacco on hospital grounds.
