Stopping smoking is basically part of the pre-op

If you go in for an operation, you'll be nil-by-mouth for a period of time beforehand. If you then eat a bacon buttie in that time, the surgeon won't operate.

If you're an alcoholic, you won't be operated on whilst pissed.

This is exactly the same.

(BTW, Jack: in the UK for compos mentis adults, there is no form to complete. For now.)
