The director of Mongkutwattana Hospital in Bangkok has vowed to lock defiant smokers on his premises in “gas chambers” until they inhale 100% of their cigarette smoke.
I’m not entirely sure you’d want someone smoking around a large supply of oxygen, either.
To be serious, though, I’ve seen some places where they seal the entryway to a dedicated smoking room a bit better and vent the smoke outside. I feel like that would be safer/more practical than smoking booths.
If you actually “lock people in a closed phone booth sized space until the smoke is gone”, you are absolutely taking a significant risk of someone dying. You need airflow to replace oxygen in a space that small.
Read what he’s describing. He’s basically saying “fuck smokers, they get what they get”. “Fuck smokers” is fine, but if you’re deliberately trying to trap them in a tiny, contained room that you’re not circulating air through, they will be deprived of oxygen.
You’ll have a hard time convincing me that his plan is to kill anyone who smokes in his hospital.
Not only does it go against the whole point of a hospital, it’s probably very illegal for him to kill anyone that way, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of his top staff are smokers. Not to mention that there’d have to be multiple people in on it during the installation and usage.
You’re talking about people who are willing to smoke inside a hospital around patients even though they are not allowed. Also nothing like a phone booth is airtight.
Yes they do. All the time. It’s only condensed sources of oxygen that superheat. That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about a locked room that only holds a couple minutes of breathable air he wants to keep air from flowing through and keep people from breathing.
Because he’s locking them in a room without air circulating.
Smokers have options. They can not smoke, smoke in the booth, or walk 50 feet away from the hospital to smoke.
Why should sick people be inhaling their tar breath?
That doesn’t give you a right to suffocate them.
A phone booth is not a large supply of oxygen.

But you can’t smoke outside a hospital either.
you know where there is a large supply of oxygen?
OUTSIDE
WHERE EVERY NORMAL SMOKER GOES
These are not used to kill people…

Given that it’s a hospital, I doubt that they’d be using anything that’s likely to kill someone.

You can’t make them breathe all their smoke in if there’s sufficient air circulation.
What he’s describing can’t not result in decreased access to oxygen.

Fire and large sources of oxygen do not mix peacefully.
