Good points, though I've never heard that statistic. Also, with regards to smoking and metabolism: it's true that smoking will increase your metabolism by effectively jacking up your heartbeat, but the irony is that it's just as much stress on the heart as being overweight would be (heart failure is the leading cause of death by smoking). Anyway, the idea that smoking will somehow counteract and balance out the harmful effects of obesity is laughable (and this is coming from a light smoker himself). Try maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Will I get the same weight gain as my father?
