I think that it was about 1990 when they finally said that staff couldn't smoke at the nurses' station. For a couple of years after that I hated going to the restroom because people would smoke in the restrooms.
One time I had a patient who was a real jerk. He was going to surgery in a couple of hours and he was smoking marijuana in the room. I really didn't know how the marijuana in his system would react with the anesthesia so I called security on him. Security was no help at all. I did let the anesthetist know.
