You'd have to be crazy to smoke anyway.

It was funny in a way but there used to be smoking rooms, where you would have a group of disturbed people all huddled together puffing away and one staff member controlling how much you smoked and lighting your cigarettes for you.

If the guy liked you he would give you two of your smokes.

After you were proven not to be a risk or a threat, and you were stable you could smoke outside. It was quite the thrill.

The bricks remind me of <i>The Wall</i> by Pink Floyd.

"Tear down the wall, tear down the wall!" I think this was Pink Floyds inspiration.

Everytime I see anything to do with smoking in mental hospitals I think of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
