That would be sick. The motivation to get Bond to the health spa in Thunderball was his bad habits. Sean Connery's Bond without cigarette hanging out of his mouth would be like Sherlock Holmes without his pipe or Eastwood's Man with No Name without his Cheroot. The Ian Fleming books were well written and reflected their times. To update them to the present and make them PC is sacreligious.
