Talking the American public into not smoking has obviously caused the greatest increase in health ever. ------- giggles as he looks around at the healthy Americans

I wonder how many people gained years on their lives by avoiding obesity by smoking instead.

Lol, it's true that smokers tend to be thinner than non-smokers.

And nicotine seems to reduce the probability of getting Parkinson's disease.

But smoke is carcinogenic. Maybe nicotine gum should be unregulated and legal to buy without id. The prices are crazy. It's probably even more profitable than plain tobacco.

Everybody in Japan smokes, yet they have the longest life expectancy on the planet.

Oh definitely more profitable. It's the reason why vaping (which has never been shown to cause long term damage despite the best efforts of BigPharma, the FDA, and Tobacco Lobby) is frowned upon by Government, when it should be encouraged in bars (at least) to reduce smoking.

Britain does the literal exact opposite of the USA - you can vape in most bars. But then again, Britain doesn't farm tobacco and the NHS pays for treatment, so there's no incentive to do otherwise.

I'm looking forward to shopping at Trader Joe's without a mask.

Take pics/video. Maybe we'll see Karen Konfusion

"Wear ya mask"
"Are you vaxxed! I am! Did ya get the vax?"
"Just wear ya mask before you kill grandma!"
"Prove to me you've been vaxed!"

Lol, it would be fun to say "Just because you didn't get the vaccine doesn't mean I'm obligated to wear a mask around you."

But that would be dishonest. I'm never going to get that horrifying biological agent injected into me.

I think I'll just say nothing and smile.

The paradox of the Japanese having a long life expectancy (although they may smoke) might be the result of a couple of things.

1. The diet in Japan is healthy compared to the American diet.
I was in Japan for a couple of months and I ate out every meal. I lost a lot of weight.
2. Japanese society is competitive, but in another sense less stressful than some places because of customs.
It’s truly “civilized”, not rude. The language has polite forms. The rudest thing you can say in Japanese is “you look like a fool”.

My theory is more Japanese would die of heart disease because of smoking, but the lack of fats in the diet may slow down the clogging of the arteries damaged by the smoke.

I recommend people visit Japan, it has a lot of natural beauty and people are nice.

3. When somebody dies their relatives bury them w/o reporting to the authorities and keep collecting their pension for years or even decades. This is what the newly-elected mayor of Kyoto has discovered when he set upon visiting 10 (or 20) eldest residents of that city, famous for having the most residents over 100 y.o. Not a single one could be found. =))

Lol, that may explain Japanese "longevity".

Pickled/Salted* Vegetables seems to be a common thing to long lived people, and a lot of Seafood

Armenians make pickled vegetables as well, and are famous for their longevity.

Everybody pickles vegetables. It's a basic preservative method. It is probably as old or older than making alcohol.

Doesn't pretty much everyone in Europe make pickled vegetables?
9014   Patrick   2021 May 20, 1:43pm  

That may be true.

When I left my grandmother's village in Poland after visting, they sent me away with a bottle of vodka and a jar of pickled mushrooms, apparently things they valued.

The really ironic part is that Pantyfa is pure fascism, black-clothed people looking for others to assault based on their political beliefs.

Kinda similar to how CRT is easily the most racist ideology ever devised.
