Smokers can`t stop even if their lives depend on it

Old habit may destroy surgically acquired new faceThe world's first face transplant recipient has picked up her old habit of smoking, which doctors worry could interfere with her healing and raise the risk of tissue rejection.
...
The 38-year-old Frenchwoman received a new nose, chin and lips from a brain-dead donor after being mauled by her dog last spring. The woman had been identified only as Isabelle because of French privacy laws.The doctors said the woman suffered a tissue-rejection episode last month, but was now doing well.
However, they said she had resumed smoking, which besides being bad in general for health, was especially a problem after surgery because it impaired circulation to tissues and could raise the risk of rejection.
What can I say? She's French and they are so obnoxious about smoking. The Germans certainly aren't much better. I asked a German man to stop smoking while I was waiting on queue in Disney World a few years ago and he looked at me as if I were a Moroccan day laborer. I have nothing against Moroccans other than they are not a good-looking race of people, in fact all Muslims who carry hatred in their hearts reflect in their faces the ugliness of their loathing for dirty infidels; just look at any of them with their heavy mustaches and beards and withered, sun-dried, pock-marked, angry, hateful faces... and the men are not much better looking either.
