It really makes you wonder because two of the longest living populations - Japan and France - both have some of the highest rates of smoking in their populations...yet the data clearly shows smoking is definitely detrimental to health outcomes.....yet two countries with polar opposite dietary habits, smoke more and live longer than other countries. Go figure?
