Question for Kilties in Scotland

I would question those findings and consider them temporary at best. Unfortunately, a decrease in smoking rates often seems to be connected with an increase in obesity rates. It's really just the exchange of one vice for another. Both of which can cause significant damage to the heart (and other stuff).

Except that obesity doesn't affect the health of others. Smoking in an enclosed space does and makes everybody and everything smell horrible and that's not saying anything about those with asthma or allergies.

Oops, got a bit off topic there.

The smoking ban is great, I can breath in places I couldn't visit before.
