      <![CDATA[I'm amazed more people haven't commented on the enormous powers that this unelected hospital board has seized for itself. VCU Health Services' management believes that it can command people in what they may and may not do on public streets and sidewalks, in a fairly large section of Richmond.

      <![CDATA[The law VCU cites is V.A. Code 23-50.16:10, "Police power," according to Anne Buckley. Here's the language she cites in an e-mail to Style: <br><br>"A. The Authority is empowered to adopt and enforce reasonable rules and regulations governing access to, conduct in or on, and use of its property and facilities and surrounding streets, sidewalks and other public areas, and governing other matters affecting the safety and security of Authority property and of those using or occupying Authority property.

      <![CDATA[@Sarah - Many would argue there is no justification beyond zealotry to ban people from smoking on a sidewalk, and thus the ban is not 'reasonable'.<br><br>This kind of authoritarian mindset is a big problem in 'public health', and it's sad but not surprising that VCU is moving in that direction.

      <![CDATA[People certainly have a right to smoke, but I work at the medical center and for years I couldn't enter a building without having to inhale second hand smoke. Maybe if people hadn't ignored the signs asking people not to smoke outside entrances for, VCU wouldn't have taken on such an enforcement role.

      <![CDATA[This article would be more useful if it cited the law that allows VCU to enforce a smoking ban on public sidewalks and streets that are owned by the City of Richmond. If there is no law or city ordinance that specifically empowers the university, then VCU is behaving in an unlawful fashion.
