Were, per chance, your gums bleeding during this visit? If so, perhaps her insistence was justified. I kid, I agree that doctors should not be insisting such things, but I have no problem with them being overt and not sugarcoating the potential hazards that lifestyle choices present.

I forget, do you still smoke regularly? I know we shared one in DC but I seem to recall bunking that for us from some REALLY snotty girls.

Wow. I just had a memory return to me from the land of blackout.
