Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 939 | Our first few visits to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fl were disconcerting to me as you would see smokers (patients and visitors alike) standing/sitting outside the entrance....firing away. I just could not believe it.
At some point early this year, the Moffitt campus went totally smoke free...a much better message to all. How can you possibly treat the total body for cancer and condone smoking???
