Japanese smoke more than westerners but live longer, I do not see the correlation between smoking and shorter life span

Good thing you're not a scientist then!

Healthy lifestyle is the key for both quality and quantity of life.

@Dango bong, come on mate, you know that makes no sense!

It is not like there is only one factor involved

I don't think he does know that.

Like most things, it's quality, not quantity.

I'll take a (relatively...lol ) short healthy life. Than a long one dogged with aches and pains.

I do not see the correlation between smoking and shorter life span, studies in the US have shown that smokers die around 12yrs younger than non-smokers. smokers life expectancy in the US is around 67yrs, so basically you've got a couple years after retirement before you kick the bucket.

Okinawa no longer have the longest life expectancy in Japan?  No doubt as a result of bad American fast food influence and U.S. military presence negatively stressing Okinawa life.  No wonder Onaga wants the U.S. out of Okinawa.
