Rygning og fedme

Nyt amerikansk studie viser at den vigtigste faktor til at forklare stigningen i antallet af kraftigt overvægtige hænger sammen med et fald i antallet af folk som ryger

    Smokers are less likely to be obese. And the declining use of cigarettes across the country — due to both tightening pocketbooks and new laws (thanks, Mayor Bloomberg) — accounts for a bigger increase in the obesity rate in the U.S. than any other factor, according to paper authors Charles L. Baum and Shin-Yi Chou, who have both written with some frequency on the economics of obesity.
