People in WA still smoke like chimneys [sp?]... Ban or no ban, they still smoke cigarettes. It may be outside and all but not 25 ft away from buildings... I run into the smoke clouds everyday... I'm dying of second hand smoke inhalation every day...
The other thing the article stated is weather. Hotter weather usually burns more calories, etc... It has to be consistently hot weather... Not hot, then cold, then hot. The body needs insulation when there is cooler weather, aside from the fact that folks get cabin fever and pig out.
I dunno know how accurate California comparisons can be made about weight... Folks in Cali are more prone to get "augmented" with surgery to lose pounds or develop crazy eating disorders. All kinds of diets are consumed in Cali and there is also a drug problem that helps with weight reduction... Leave some folks "pimply" with a lot of acne issues, but those can be "cleared up"... If folks do cocaine, crystal meth, or heroin, they could lose weight... The opposite is true for smoking weed... And most Californians are prone to dabble in the weed part...
However, there are quite a few folks up here in the Pac Northwest that do drugs...
The dangerous part is asking the question to physicians: Which would your rather die from:
Heart Disease/Stroke or Cancer...
9 times outta 10 folks will probably get both if they life long enough...
