My doctor required smokers to pass a nicotien free blood test prior to him performing their surgery. If they don't quit then he will not perform the surgery. His reason being.........Smoking is the number one preventable killer and obesity is number two. Why is he going to save you from #2 if you are still at risk with #1. I never checked the statistics on this one.... but it sounds plausable!
