    If it is between a non-smoker and a smoker, I would absolutely choose the non-smoker.

    If cigarettes weren't so bad for you and made you smell like an ashtray... I'd probably still be smoking. I'm done now for 8? years and I still get a craving now and again.

    What if the non-smoker is a fatty and the smoker eats right and exercises regularly?

    They turn down organ transplants for unhealthy lifestyles, such as overindulging, too. Keep going down the list until you find a better candidate.

    And that's fine. They don't say "Oh sorry, you use illegal drugs, no healthcare for you!"
