There's a huge confounder missing in your analysis which is that they're also typically quite old by the time they retire. People don't change their habits easily at that age.

How puritanical. Do you look down on everyone or just unhealthy people?

[badpun → aschearer]

I'm the same. It's just human nature to not want to expend effort. We love excuses, like - I'm too stressed, to busy etc. - but quite often, they're just that - convenient excuses.

There are also plenty of w@nkers in the world.

Have a great day.
