We need a wholesale reevaluation of what health feels like. Most Americans don't even know what that is anymore. I want to tell people, Listen, there are places where you can focus on your health, and it can actually be simple.

I don't operate on smokers. I tell cigarette smokers that I can operate on you, I get paid the same. And you might even do well. But it's the wrong thing to do. So I refuse to operate on you until you stop smoking.

I feel differently immediately when I start to put weight on. I don't like that sluggish, blunted disposition that I have when that happens.
