I wonder how far they took the correlation back. Is it just a myth that very few women smoked until after WWII? Because if not, then perhaps smoking delayed epidemic obesity, rather than quitting smoking caused it.
And come to think of it, I surely knew a lot of girls my own age who took up smoking to control their weight. So they started with the weight issues as pre-teens, before they started smoking. Again, a recent phenomenon.
