But you might be onto something, reCAL. Obesity does play a big part in heart disease and many overweight pilots lose their medical every year from heart complications and other vascular issues. Good point, reCAL.
What can't you believe? That smoking is detrimental to your health? I think I'm going to get blue in the face before I get through a head made of bricks. <waving white flag>
I absolutely believe that smoking is bad for you. That's why I don't smoke. However, I only take issue with the government interfering to the point that you try to protect against stupidity. It's a liberty issue. What if I want to smoke banana peels? Should we make law's banning bananas at that point? Some law is good. But, it sounds as if you are in medicine and if you are, you know what too much Law in medicine is creating...Tort reform. Now! Let the stupid people die off. It will make for a stronger society.
