      I wouldn’t use anything that I have to breath out into a hospital room but I will say I bring my off brand zyn when I get put in for more than a night. All my local will give you is a 2mg nicorette every 2 hours and you have to ask each time. It’s absolutely torture to be withdrawing in a hospital.

            In my hospital we do it. We have a ward where the patients can’t leave the room at any time because they’re there for continuous diagnostic testing, so this is how they keep the smokers in place.

        It depends. Might be against hospital policy, but it also depends on the circumstances and staff that catch you.

        Get caught vaping nicotine after surgery while on oxygen and an RN catches you? Problem.

        Get caught vaping THC, not on oxygen on oncology/hospice? Depends on the staff whether they’ll notice it or not.

          The library my wife runs has detectors in the bathroom that let them know if someone is vaping in there, so hospitals might too these days.

              Funny. You would think if a library does it, hospitals would. But then I guess most hospitals are run by corporations that don’t want to spend any more money than they absolutely have to.

                Also management of smaller municipal libraries can be influenced far more directly by local communities.

                E.g. a few parents show up to city council meeting concerned re: teens vaping in bathrooms, request installation of multifunction detectors, line item is <$500, council agrees, done.

                Hospitals on the other hand are often privately owned, the expense is higher, and the board has little incentive to open the floor to the public in the first place.

                Not to mention that the moment the H in Healthcare is mentioned the price just increased a signifanct amount.

                Not only are there signifanct legislative restrictions but also everything is just expensive when it comes to a hospital (barring things that are heavily subsidized, like diapers, for example).

            Those things don’t work.

            Source: vaped in damn near every bathroom I’ve used for the last 13ish years.

                I mean I could see if someone was chucking clouds it may set it off. But if you vape discretely they can’t sense the difference between a vape or someone with too much deodorant. Guaranteed tonnes of people Vape in the library your wife works at and get away with it.
