I posted these links above to add food for thought about the physical, financial, and societal costs of smoking versus other health ailments, such as obesity.

In the past, smoking caused more deaths than obesity. This is quickly becoming not the case, and yes, that's largely due to the substantial decline in smoking.

Everyone jumped on the bandwagon of eliminating smoking because of it's increased risks to health and costs.

Today, medical studies are pointing more and more towards obesity being the largest factor for increased health risks and increasing costs, as obesity plays into a larger range of other physical ailments.

I supposed the real point of my reblog and links is to get at the question...

When will the warfare on obesity begin?

OH DID HE??

kellogs literally signed back on with him after the fact as well.

also richardson smoked legally in oregon whereas phelps smoked where it would be entirely illegal for him

guess these legalizations dont mean fucking shit huh?

also they couldve barred phelps at any time, they chose to bar him during a time that still allowed him to compete later on in the year at another important event.

also dont see how richardson smoking in a legal state to deal with family trauma couldnt be classified as an approved therapeutic exemption

but sure it was totally fair and balanced huh??
