More than one in four heart transplant patients start smoking again after their operation.

Their disregard for what most recipients view as a precious gift cuts their life expectancy by more than four years, researchers found.

The figures provoked a furious response from more responsible patients last night, who said it was an abuse of the transplant process.

It's not that surprising, when you consider they only needed the operation due to self-abuse.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
