You choose to smoke, the diseases you get were voluntary
You drink too much...same thing
You stuff your face with food and never get off the couch, then the hypertension, blocked arteries and such are a choice.

Yes, this is a bit over the top but our society is so quick to jump on things and make excuses for it. Next time something isn't going right ion your world no matter what it is, you should look long and hard in the mirror first.
And what happens when scientists and doctors specializing in the field start saying that it is EXTREMELY difficult? Do you ignore the research so that you can continue your shaming/bullying/insulting?
