Smoking and obesity

The benefits of the anti-smoking campaign are paying off, as the life expectancy of the average American has increased. However, obesity has surged, and will likely undermine any life-extending benefits we have achieved from smoking cessation.

Studies show that at current rates, 45% of Americans will be obese by 2020. It is time to stop smoking AND stop over-eating.

This will reduce healthcare costs by billions of dollars, extend life expectancy, and improve overall quality of life.
