The producer of Bangkok’s Mongkutwattana Hospital has pledged to confine rude smoking in “gas halls” until they exhale 100 % of their cigarette smoke.
On Sunday, Maj. Gen. Dr. Rienthong Nanna, the chairman of the private hospital in the city’s Laksi area, announced on his Facebook page that he would use formerly donated open telephone booths to impose punishment for anyone who violates the smoking restrictions.
According to his post, phone booths were donated to help Covid-19 screening at his clinic between 2020 and 2022.
They will be used as “gas halls” where patients may be locked up in his hospital if they dare to dust.
” Those who defy the smoking ban at Mongkutwattana Hospital is fully inhale the fumes from their own tobacco in the modern fuel chambers.” The smoke wo n’t be released to the outside, causing annoyance or harm to the general public, but it will actually harm smokers themselves,” according to Maj Gen Dr Rienthong.
The stalls will have smoke-detecting switch cameras installed. When the smoke vanishes in such booths, the doors will be quickly unlocked, he wrote, and intolerant smokers can therefore leave the booths.
He claimed that he would rather put smoking in “gas chambers” rather than” selfish” ones at his doctor.
Maj Gen Dr. Rienthong recently made headlines when he slapped and stripped a doctor patient who smoked.
The director claimed that because cigarette smoke from a room or bathroom space would be circulated throughout the doctor, including individual wards, through the building’s air-conditioning and ventilation systems, he had to get strong action to protect the health of other visitors and patients.
Following the assault, legal action was brought against him. Meanwhile, it turned out that the teenager was allegedly in possession of , heroin during his visit to the hospital.
