This just in: Life is the leading cause of death:
Smoking cigarettes is the cause of so much preventable, deadly disease. But now new research shows sitting for long stretches of time may be just as dangerous.
“Smoking certainly is a major cardiovascular risk factor and sitting can be equivalent in many cases,” explained Dr. David Coven.
Does that mean that if you get up to walk around while having a smoke, your behaviors cancel each other out?

After reading the article I must I am shocked, shocked I say!
The notion that sitting sedentary for hours on end would be less healthy than walking around all day never occurred to me. Something about "excercise" and heart rates etc...
Huh,
Modern science brings another shocker to the public!
