Living a Healthy Life Style

Part 2: 

Chapter 12 contains health information for college students in the areas of nutrition, avoiding addictions, protection from disease, getting enough sleep and dealing with stress.  It is based on the premise that we will be living longer in the 21st Century.  Below are some facts covered in this chapter. 

Smoking causes lung cancer.

One out of three Americans is overweight or obese.

Illegal drug use is addictive and limits success.

Not getting enough sleep is harmful to health and learning.

Not practicing monogamous or safe sex can lead to STD’s including AIDS.

Knowing this information, why do people continue to smoke, overeat, take illegal drugs, miss out on sleep or practice unsafe sex? 

For full credit you must post a comment regarding one of the above statements or any subject covered in Chapter 12. I am looking for well thought out comments with at least 2 supportive statements.

PS.
