  • Sometimes people are so flippin' stupid they make me
    blink.  I daresay by now everyone's familiar with the French woman
    who was mauled by her dog so badly she received the world's first face
    transplant?

    Worked great, apparently!  She looks normal again.

    So she's taken her brand new lips and resumed smoking, which is,
    according to the lead surgeon who performed the groundbreaking
    transplant, "...a problem."  It impairs circulation in the tissues
    and raises the risk of rejection, an episode of which she suffered just
    last month. 

    Let's see here.  She owned a dog that literally ripped her face off, and she's taken up smoking again.

    Not the brightest bulb in the pack, is she?

  • Alas, smoking is truly an addiction. Viewing it as a conscious choice that people make only makes your head asplode. Makes more sense when you look at it in the same light as somebody trying to kick heroin or painkillers.

  • Hey, I smoked for years, as did my husband! (I quit cold turkey; he did through use of a patch.)

    But since she obviously went for who-knows-how-long without smoking, due to not having the lips necessary to do so, not to mention smoking doubtless being forbidden in the hospital, it's reasonable to think she had effectively, albeit involuntarily, quit smoking.

    She deliberately started up again. It boggles the mind, and must infuriate her doctors.

  • Hmmm.  A conundrum.  When her new face is rejected once and for all, who does she blame - the tobacco company or the doctors?    Not HER fault, of course.  But SOMEONE MUST PAY.
