My Uncle smoked for over 55 years....but ate a good diet and was active....(died at 82) I think they are right....although other bad behaviors can be deadly too....like acting homosexual - wonder when they'll pick up on that one?

Even WHO now says that the lifestyle can be more hurtful than smoking. Well, there's two ways they can go on this:
1) Forget that stuff about smoking. It's basically not that dangerous. Second-hand smoke especially. Feel free to indulge.
2) You must exercise! People who do not exercise will be taxed! Neighbors must report neighbors who do not exercise sufficiently! There will be no exceptions!
Mmmmmmm. Wonder which way it's gonna go...

This is ignorant. It's like saying, would you rather be run over by a semi or a greyhound bus. Dead is Dead.

I refuse to listen to any of this nonsense about lack of exercise and fat consumption until they start acknowedging that the major reason for obesity is eating too many of the wrong kinds of carbohydrates.
BUMP

Until being ill is outlawed, there will always be a "# 1 cause of illness". Thus the WHO busybodies will never be out of work.

ARE THE STATES GOING TO SUE COUCH AND LAZY CHAIR MANUFACTURERS NOW?

But of course, they have bled the smokers dry, so they are forced to look for new prey.

The lifestyle of couch potatoes has overtaken smoking as the major cause of ill-health in EU countries for the first time, the World Health Organization says. Heh!

WELL WELL WELL, whaddya know. Guess the lifestyle gestapo needs to concentrate on a DIFFERENT bunch of sinners, huh.
Of course, then, the smoking couch potatos are, hence, doubly screwed...
Yours Truly runs half marathons in between cartons, however. HOOYAH!
