“Two big lies—that smoking relieves the symptoms of psychosis, depression and anxiety and that mentally ill people have a special immunity to tobacco-related diseases—were propagated so aggressively by cigarette-makers that plenty of people still believe them,” Sally Chew writes in The Influence. “It continues in the culture and in the mental health field.”

Smoking bans inpatient psychiatry….
Are you feeling so awful you checked into or got checked into a psychiatric facility ?
Well their is no better time to quit smoking than in the middle of a mental health crisis so we banned it. Did you hear those horrific screams and commotion ? That was the last patient that needed a cigarette and protested. They were assaulted, held down , penetrated with a Haldol needle and put in restraints. What were you saying about needing a cigarette ?
