Obesity and Smoking cause 40% of
premature deaths in the US.
Obesity and Smoking also are the cause
of 70% of chronic diseases
like diabetes, emphysema, heart disease
and disabilities.
They cause 75% of the cost of healthcare costs.
It is obviously imperative to prevent and treat
obesity and smoking if we want to lower
healthcare costs.
