I was told that those going for STD checks should always give a false name as by having the test you were admitting that you were promiscuous.
Some people had life insurance premiums increased and some refused.

If you were to be asked that question by one of our Nurses, your answer would be Yes Please.
She is a good looking 50ish recently divorced lady.
Unfortunately she wants a Golfing Partner, which is definitely not me.

They could always lie or play cagey I suppose ... as some smokers do.
At my doctors, on the repeat prescription forms you fill in, they already want to know.
Do you smoke? ..... How many a day?
Which I leave blank.
Wow, not a question they ask here.
When I was smoking, my answer would have been less than the Doc.

Every month I get at least one call inviting me to take part in some give up smoking related activity.

I made the same mistake, being too honest doesn't seem to pay nowadays. I think you get better treatment if you are on drugs, anti-depressents etc. They seem to prefer
you to be out of your mind rather than keeping a clear mind by having a cigarette.
