Not what I thought they were gonna say:
"ATLANTA - For the first time, an influential government panel is recommending a vaccination specifically for smokers. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices decided yesterday that adult smokers under 65 should get pneumococcal vaccine. It protects against bacteria that cause bacterial pneumonia. Smokers are about four times more likely than nonsmokers to suffer pneumococcal disease."
