So remember kids - according to a "health care professional" - if you don't smoke...you don't need a flu shot.

I've never had a flu shot and don't smoke. Only had the flu a few times in my life, oddly, when I lived with smokers or spent a lot of time around them. Now that I go out of my way to distance my self from cigarette smoke, I no longer get the flu.
Perhaps your doctor isn't too far off base. There is no doubt smoking leads to a lot of illness and disease.
