Reply #39: Eating like there is no tomorrow will kill you faster than smoking

[Vicar In A Tutu]

Diet is a MUCH bigger factor. It makes me laugh when people who eat shit and barely move around state how bad smoking is. No shit, it ain't healthy, but given a simple dichotomy of an excellent diet plus smoking or a terrible, deep fried and potato chips diet, only a complete fool would pick the latter as preferential. Japan has an incredibly high smoking rate but an excellent life expectancy. It is also renowned for having very healthy food.

There are no hard and fast rules and some people are just about indestructable but, frankly, when you look like Chris Christie you are almost certsinly in poor health. That's no even takimg into consideration his recent health issues.
