As a young woman I was in the hospital for surgery.
I was quite sick afterwards with nausea. In a big open ward,
people in other beds were smoking and smoke was everywhere.

When I complained that the smoke was making me more ill,
the patients around me arrogantly stated they were paying for their
beds and would smoke all they wanted.

I told one of the nurses that one day smoking would not be
permitted in hospital patient rooms and she just laughed and said
she didn't think that would ever happen. It was a free country, etc.
