Reader questions misplaced concern over cigarette smoke vs no opinion over 10years of Valley Hospital Construction next to a school
How can you have no opinion on a 10 year construction site next door to a school with 300 students and faculty and a field used by hundreds more Ridgewood students and adults, but be concerned about the occasional cigarette smoker on the sidewalk adjacent to the school, Dr. Fishbein? I’m not saying that it’s okay to smoke outside our schools, but it’s also NOT ok to subject our schoolchildren to that amount of construction dust and fumes for so many years. Just looking for consistency Dr. Fishbein.
Can we please tone down the hysterics with regard to Valley Hospital.
I understand you may find the expansion of Valley Hospital to not be in the best interest of the community….but the constant hysteria about “dust & fumes” is absurd.
then whats the “hysteria” about cigarettes Doctor ?
It makes good press for the Carpetbagger
No hysterics – just hysterical. You have to admit it’s pretty funny that Valley is banning cigarettes and promoting dust and diesel fumes which are much healthier. Maybe they’re just drumming up business for the super sized cardio pulmonary unit that they want to build. Someone’s going to have to pay for it! You can’t make this stuff up.
