Neighbors fuming over UPMC smoking policy
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, September 11, 2008

Last year, the hospital banned smoking on its campus, which has forced smokers off-site—mainly along Delafield Road and Lexington Avenue—where they have frequently been seen discarding their cigarette butts on sidewalks or lawns.
