No smoking within 500 feet of square is more appropriate, many commercial buildings and hospitals have this policy and hopefully TV will implement this.
500 feet is a bit much. Most rules and laws for commercial buildings prohibit smoking within 25 feet of the building entrance. Even Federal buildings have the same 25 foot rule. Although, some hospital complexes do not allow any smoking on their property at all, even outside the buildings.
