There's a new ad campaign out that is targeting women and the issues of smoking and weight loss. I can't remember the exact wording, but there'd be a statement such as "bikinis, or breat cancer?" "low riders or emphysema" etc and so on. Being overweight has problems, but with diet and exercise some of those problems can be reversed or delayed, not so with smoking and getting rid of the lines around the face or lung damage.
