oh - damage for sure. and childhood obesiety is probably causing them some direct harm right now.

i was talking lung cancer which often develops later (often, not always) because that's kinda like how a fat kid could have heart problems later on. feel free to correct me on my numbers, didn't look them up sorta just ballparking things but it seems reasonable. i can't say i've heard of anyone getting lung cancer within 2 years of them starting to smoke let alone breathe second hand smoke.
