Diana Reitz makes sure she walks off Saint Vincent Health System property before she lights up a cigarette.

Reitz, a central processing department technician at the Saint Vincent Surgery Center, sometimes grabs a smoke while sitting on the curb behind the building.

“I understand that Saint Vincent doesn’t want smoking on its property,” said Reitz, 42, during a lunch-hour smoke break Friday. “You have patients and their families coming onto the property, and they might not want to breathe that smoke.”

Starting Sept. 1, Reitz will have to walk a lot farther to smoke.

Saint Vincent, 232 W. 25th St., will prohibit its employees, physicians and volunteers from smoking anywhere on hospital property or surrounding areas.

That includes parking garages, city sidewalks, land owned by the Kloecker Funeral Home, St. Joseph Catholic Church and houses near the Erie hospital. It also includes any other property owned or leased by Saint Vincent, including physician offices.

“We understand some people might not look fondly at this or might have issues with this policy,” said Saint Vincent spokeswoman Cyndy Patton. “But we’re in the business of saving lives, and it’s the responsible thing for us to do.”

The hospital is extending its smoking ban to the surrounding neighborhood because it doesn’t want groups of employees to gather on those properties and smoke, Patton said.

Saint Vincent officials have not drawn specific boundaries where smoking is forbidden. They also have not decided if employees caught smoking will be disciplined.

“It’s more about empowering our nonsmokers,” Patton said. “They outnumber the smokers, and it’s more of an effort for the people who don’t smoke to feel free to say ‘Stop smoking’ when they see someone smoking.”

Hamot Medical Center imposed a smoking ban in November. No one may smoke on hospital property, and employees may not smoke BLUES CLUES dvd during their work shift, including breaks.
