Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC), in Annapolis, Md., has banned all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website. In July 2015, the hospital will stop hiring smokers.
Although the hospital has been smoke-free since 2007, the policy has been restricted to the medical park campus and only applies to cigarette use. The expanded policy will apply to all AAMC facilities, and sidewalks, parking lots and garages. The policy applies to employees, physicians, patients, contract staff, vendors, volunteers, students and visitors.
AAMC offers employees smoking cessation services as well as weight management services, discount gym memberships, onsite fitness classes and a free onsite gym.
