Hmm. . . isn't smoking an appetite suppressant?
Has anyone noticed that the more smoking is being discouraged, the greater the obesity problem becomes?
Since I've seen too many obese smoking people. I don't think there is any correlation.
Obesity is a genetic problem. There are skinny fat people who seriously can get away with anything. In Asia, you see this prominently. Skinny people getting diabetes, heart attack. Clogged arteries from unhealthy food, but within underweight to healthy BMI range. My dad is like in his late 60's, 6ft and only 160lbs, in his youth, he is even skinner at 140lbs, he was underweight most of his life. Very slim. No belly at all. But his diet is fried chicken and pizza and coke(full sugar). He has high cholesterol/high blood pressure and high risk of heart attack.
But he is lean, and slim, and no belly all his life. And he doesn't smoke. To be fair, he doesn't take alcohol either. But deep fried food is his number 1 favourite. And his coke consumption is about 6 cups a day. Coke practically replaces water.
And when I went South Africa and saw African women, the ones that live very poor in mud and rocks houses, being like morbidly obese, yet they walk marathon distances everyday, with weight as they carry things in a basket on their heads. It's so obviously genetic. Poor them.
