Great - now do cigarettes. If you'd prefer to skip the math though, the CDC states "Fewer than one in ten adult cigarette smokers succeed in quitting each year".
I don't think it's completely unfair to compare quitting smoking with weight loss.
- Retric 4y agoThat’s just the first year, only something like 2% of people who lose weight keep it off for 10 years. People maintained weight loss for 1 year are simply much more likely to regain weight in the next year than people who quit smoking for 1 year are likely to start smoking again over the next year and that trend stays consistent over time.
