Don't quite understand your worry about the "smoking nazis" ? Most people weren't overweight because they most likely were being fed good healthy food...if you raise children without feeding them junk food, soft drinks and sugar they most likely will not have the urge to eat and drink such things...the salt and sugar is addictive hence what you don't ingest you don't acquire an addiction to...same with smokes...the tobacco industry got all of us who were in the armed services addicted to cigs by furnishing them in the "C" rations...once addicted they had a customer for life or at least they thought until those of us who quit before we died of them...(my father & oldest brother weren't so lucky)have nothing against those who want to smoke just don't blow it in my face or ask me to pay higher insurance premiums to pay for the higher cost of hospital care for the one lung, yellow teeth, cancer stix hacking morons

I am a former smoker. I started smoking when I was 16 stopped when I was 45. It was my choice to start and my choice to stop. The smoking nazi's are only interested in their choice not mine or your fathers or your brothers or yours. It's called freedom of choice .

Now some of these people died prematurely, some lived normal life spans and some lived to ripe old age. All smokers and not a moron among them... Well maybe Betty Grable, but she cops a pass 'cause she had a nice butt.
