Which has worth health consequences, being morbidly obese or being a chain smoker?

Question

I know they are both indicators of an early grave but which will kill you faster?

LOL!!!! I have heard some stupid responses in my days but....death by bad grammar.......? I think I killed both of my english teachers........should I confess?

Answer 1

BAD GRAMMAR WILL KILL YOU THE QUICKEST. Why? Because you are judged on your ability to communicate. Your question should be: Which has WORSE consequences...blah blah...............My answer is: they are equal. Being a chain smoker is bad, and being anything with the word "morbidly" in it is ALSO BAD. WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY DAY? WHY? BECAUSE of people like YOU. Less talking (on your part), MORE LISTENING ON YOUR PART. STOP SMOKING, STOP OVEREATING. Walk, eat fruit, and stop BEING A GENETIC FAILURE.

Answer 2

Being morbidly obese is much worse in my opinion. Chain smoking doesn't kill people, but it does increase their chances of developing cancer, which could eventually kill them. It also puts a strain on the immune system making it more difficult to stay healthy. Obesity puts an immense strain on almost every aspect of your health, not just your lungs, like your heart (big time!), blood, every muscle that is used is overworked and the ones that aren't are probably almost gone since most extremely large people have mobility problems. I've smoked for 10 years and I consider myself very healthy (as much as I can be). I can run 2 miles in 15 minutes and do 75 pushups in 2 minutes. Although smoking is very bad for you, people had been doing it a LOT in the United States from the 1700s until the mid 1900s without discovering any major problems, but people that are overweight have been considered at risk for major health problems since the 1600s at least.

(btw - I'm trying to quit smoking right now and I think I'm getting somewhere :D )

Answer 3

I really think Morbidly obese would happen to someone before Lung Cancer.I have never heard of morbidly obese people living long but,I have heard how people have chain smoked there whole life and never developed Lung Cancer.With fat it clogs arteries then there's heart attacks and many other things being high blood pressure .I believe more bad things can happen then with weight,but what do I know I'm not a doctor.

Answer 4

I would think being morbidly obese would I have been smoking since I was 9, chained smoked for about 5 years

Answer 5

Obesity takes about four months off your life. Chain smoking can take off five years or more if you have a genetic tendency towards lung cancer. But lung cancer is not the only thing you get from smoking, there is also emphysema and generally diminished lung capacity and heart damage and circulatory damage. Obesity of more than 100 lbs, is bad, but not in the same catagory as chain smoking. Just being overweight, is nowhere near as bad. And no one else gets sick if you overeat.

Answer 6

Personally, I'd vote for 'morbidly obese' as the worst. The issues associated with it tend to accumulate, and there is a point where 'recovery' becomes exceedingly difficult due to a downward spiral in health problems.

Answer 7

He signed up for it; it replaced into his determination to flow on the instruct. i do not worship something he does. as far as being a adverse well-being position-kind, maximum everybody is adverse position-fashions in that ingredient. after all, maximum individuals are not health operating shoes and specialist dance educators. of route you may be masculine and by no potential dangerously overweight. i'm not confident what the relationship is that you're seeing there, yet weight problems ranges are increasing plenty in adult adult males, women people, or perhaps little ones. after all, Chaz isn't morbidly overweight; watch the biggest Loser in case you want to make sure examples of that. :)

Answer 8

that would be very hard to determine. being fat would likely affect your health first but you can live years with medication for high blood pressure and diabetes, and if lung cancer gets you, well it often can do it in a matter of months once it gets going. however if you dont do either, you will surely live a healthier existance. as long as you dont turn into a drunk or something. you know we all have bad habits.

Answer 9

I would guess Obesity. Smoking gives you lung cancer and emphesyma (didnt spell that right) But Obesity can cause diabetes, heart problems, liver and kidney strain, high blood pressure, also it can cause you to stop breathing in your sleep...

Answer 10

when my doc nagged me about not smoking, I told him what about the weight gain and he said overweight is better than smoking - of course that was overweight and not morbidly obese
