I had very serious pneumonia many years ago - 20 years ago, I think. Both lungs 3/4 filled with fluid. I went to the doctor with a 105 fever and they did an X-ray then called an ambulance. I was on IV antibiotics for four days and was all better. Before I left the hospital, I asked the doctor to prescribe a nicotine patch (they were still prescription only then). She said - you haven't smoked for a week. You're already withdrawn from nicotine. You don't need the patch.

So, of course, within days I was smoking again. In retrospect, it amazes me how little doctors know about addiction.
