It's not just about the extra life span, it's the quality of life until then. I wish the same focus was given to weight loss, smoking, etc. No one really cares

I wish the same focus was given to weight loss, smoking, etc. No one really cares about living an extra 10 years from 70 to 80 if it means giving up 40+ yesrs of enjoying bad habits.
Exercise is especially neat because there are enjoyable ways to do it

It’s the same thing, right? That is, exercise may not necessarily make your life longer, but has a good chance of making your life higher quality. Similarly, bad habits can shorten your life, and even if it doesn’t, will most definitely make your life lower quality (eventually). Or maybe that’s the point you were making?
- andoando 1y agoI mean most of the anti-smoking, weight-loss, campaigns are focused on trying to convince people thats its bad for you because it increases the chance of lung cancer, or heart morbidity. Ergo, you shouldn't do them because you won't live as long. Instead, I think we need to focus on "you'll feel better, like right now".
