You'll have a hard time convincing me that his plan is to kill anyone who smokes in his hospital.

Not only does it go against the whole point of a hospital, it's probably very illegal for him to kill anyone that way, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of his top staff are smokers. Not to mention that there'd have to be multiple people in on it during the installation and usage.

You can't make them breathe all their smoke in if there's sufficient air circulation.

What he's describing can't not result in decreased access to oxygen.

I think you might be taking his words too literally

What he's advocating is deranged so he must be joking?

He said what he said.

What he's advocating is his literal words are sound deranged so he must be joking speaking figuratively?

Yeah, that's usually how that works.

No, that's not usually how it works. It's never how it works. This isn't satire. It's an actual proposal.

People advocating for unhinged bullshit do so because and only because they believe in it. There is no alternate interpretation of "lock people in a closed space with their smoke to punish them". If there was sufficient airflow the smoke would be gone in seconds.
