Obesity is a more nuanced and complex problem than smoking
Obesity is a more nuanced and complex problem than smoking☜The causal relationship between smoking and lung cancer is clear, specific and substantial and the solution (to stop smoking) is relatively simple, whereas the science underlying the causes of, and solutions to, obesity is more complex, uncertain and systemic.☜EF597B
