I have direct experience with non-coastal people doing things bad for their health because somebody told them it was bad for their health, not because they think the person who told them was wrong, but because they want to show that they can exercise their right to be stupid anyway. Everything from eating things they didn't really like just because they were unhealthy to modifying their cars to be dirtier. This was a frequent enough occurrence to be noticeable.
