Up here there are several Doctors (GPs) who won't treat people who
smoke. They insisted their patents quit and those that didn't needed to
find a new Doctor. I'm guessing these doctors are members of the
smoking Nazis. (Those people who refuse to give smokers even some
rights and persecute smokers to the max). I don't smoke anymore and
feel those that do smoke should have some rights.
