Smart smokers

Some Assembly Required works in the Longwood medical area and notes:

... The rear entrance to the Longwood Galleria food court is at the end of an alley; it's a natural gathering spot for smokers who have finished lunch and are grabbing a puff before going back to work. Also abutting the same alley is the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, which, according to their web site, "provides expert, compassionate care to children and adults with cancer." Is it just me, or is this the height of irony? At least the smokers will know where it is when they need to go there...

I thought the same thing as my wife and I entered the food court at the Dana Farber institute side to give us warm passage to the Best Western parking garage. Is this bad taste or what?

I wonder who owns the property. You'd think they might decide it was in their civic interest to just say "sorry, go smoke somewhere else," but this is admittedly difficult to enforce.

I often wondered about the docs I saw sneaking a smoke in the family bathrooms at U of Michigan Med Ctr. My resaon for being there- my dad was dying of lung cancer from... guess what?, smoking since he was 15.
