Smoking or Weight Loss?

I have noticed that in workplaces where there is a heavy concentration of smokers, the number of obese employees is lower. The reverse side of the coin: employers with a heavy concentration of obese people have fewer smokers.

Corollary (or maybe it should be "Coronary?"): The adoption of strict workplace smoking rules has led to greater obesity because many ex-smokers substitute food for tobacco.

Solution: Adopt a "Please Smoke" program to drive down obesity. Make sure the vending machines are filled with sugary sweets when going through a Stop-Smoking campaign.
