A nurse forced to quit her job because smokers at the hospital entrance triggered her asthma has hit out at the failure to enforce a ban.
Olivia Fulton has called on NHS bosses and the police to apply the law after it was made illegal earlier this year. She is being backed by charity Asthma + Lung UK. The 36-year-old has a severe form of asthma and one of the triggers is smoke.
She said: “I worked at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary as a renal nurse but one of the biggest issues I had was getting into hospital safely. Sometimes I would end up in A&E.”
