I see ijmorlan's point, but I also see the point that hospitals have a duty to provide quality health care to their patients. We don't allow sick patients to have booze on the property. We don't allow them to do (unauthorized) drugs. Sometimes patients aren't allowed to have coffee. All addictions for some people, and all things that the hospital sometimes (or always) needs to restrict in order to provide quality care. So it seems at least reasonable that we don't enable smoking on the property when people are in the care of the hospital. Especially if the hospital can provide remedies to the patient to deal with the addiction while they are admitted.
Its honestly mind boggling to me that non-smoking isn't enforced in transit shelters. Seems like a no brainer 'money-grab' for the city.
Edit: To be clear, if I had the power to make the decision, I don't actually know what way I'd go without looking at a lot more data. But I don't think its obvious that ijmorlan is right or wrong.
