2morecents – “I believe that being 25 pounds overweight is a much bigger health issue than smoking and yet even with the fact that extra weight is an issue, most people have a much kinder outlook at overeating than they do to smoking.
I don’t smoke and never have and I’m not overweight either. If I had to suffer the ill effects of one of those 2, I would take my chances with smoking and a lean body over being a non smoker but living with a load of extra weight ruining my cholesterol, blood pressure, joints and hormones any day.”
Your opinion is invalid compared to many health experts. Just because you don’t like the smoking ads, doesn’t make you a scientist. The fact is being overweight can be unhealthy, but there is nothing more dangerous than smoking as far as your typical addiction goes!
