The “on the outdoor grounds of a hospital” part is unreasonable to the extent that it prohibits the hospital from even establishing a specific place, appropriately sited with proper facilities provided (shelter, butt disposal).
To derail this a bit, I've also suggested a painted 9m line outside University of Waterloo buildings but it was believed to be infeasible. I have seen campuses with such lines in Quebec, but they may have fewer perimeters. However, putting ashtrays more than 9m away does help a bit.
