There are different kinds of smokers; the ones who hardly care and just want to smoke, then there are the ones who know about the consequences and want to quit, yet smoke, and then comes the ones who are not only loyal smokers, but also do not consider non-smokers ‘worthy’. Yes, however ironic it may sound, but such people do exist. And this woman, it seems, is one of the people from the last category- the woman in question went viral on social media after calling non-smokers 'losers’. “Hey, smokers and losers (nonsmokers) wyd?” her post read. Resharing the same, a doctor was quick to call her out in the most savage manner, which also went viral.
Recalling the story of a young smoker and her health complications, the doctor asked others to remain a ‘loser’ and live healthy. The post instantly intrigued netizens and ended up getting major support from people. The woman, on the other hand, was heavily trolled by the majority.
The post was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘DrDeepakKrishn1’. The post was captioned, “The youngest patient I've sent for a triple bypass surgery was a 23-year-old girl smoker. #HeartAttack #MedTwitter. Be a loser (as per this lady) and live healthy.”
