Smoking banned in mental hospitals Butt ban extended in mental hospitals - NJ.com.
Behind the walls of Trenton Psychiatric Hospital on Sullivan Way here, the clouds of cigarette smoke have been thinning over the past two years. A smoking-cessation effort has been under way. An abnormally high percentage of mental patients smoke, as high as 75 percent according to state officials, and they're trying to put an end to the practice, in an effort to prolong lives and improve well-being, as well as the functioning of psychotropic drugs.
