Every extra two pounds an overweight person carries cuts their life expectancy by two months, new research reveals.
Holding excess weight may shorten a person's life by raising their risk of coronary artery disease, according to the researchers.
Smoking has the greatest impact on shortening people's lives, with a packet of cigarettes a day knocking off seven years, the research adds.
The study also revealed every additional year an individual spends in further education extends their lifespan by 11 months by making them more aware of the dangers of smoking.

Well, if that's true I should have died a decade ago. lol
Majority of smokers have no more than a GED or HS degree. Speaks volumes.
Duh
We smoke and eat excessively because we don't like life under the totalitarian government who enslaves us.
Why do we want to prolong the suffering?
I better call Holloway's, because that means I'll die next week.

Oh good Lord here comes another one. Trying to portray ITSELF as having higher intelligence by throwing out statistics it pulled out from its butt. Why don't you just go away, or better yet, go out into the woods and see if you can find your hero Killary
guess you haven’t been on a college campus lately
Nobody gets out alive.

I don't know who you are talking to but I certainly wouldn't want to go on any college campus. Who was that comedian that said he doesn't perform at colleges anymore? Chris Rock maybe? I forget. His refusal and my objections to college are about the same. Too many liberals. (and snowflakes)
