I'm thinking that a lot of those same people, would be better served concentrating on the "evils" of obesity....and learning to push that plate away a little sooner.


Obesity VS. Smoking (poke here)

Quote:
Smoking has long been considered the greatest modifiable risk factor affecting longevity and quality of life, but it looks like obesity may now be an even greater threat to the health of Americans.

In the the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers from Columbia University and The City College of New York calculate that the quality of life and years lost due to obesity are now equal to or greater than those lost due to smoking.
