Perhaps, but... smoked
cigars? Doubtful.

I said it was ironic.
It's not the anesthesiologist's job to try
modifying the patient's behavior immediately before surgery. His job is to make sure the patient goes under & wakes up. If cigar smoking has a bearing on that, then certainly he has a need to know. But it doesn't sound like the lecture was necessary, as Waynegro1 points out.
