I'll bet more of them smoke than Americans, too.

I have read that England's population is also getting heavier.

I would like to see the weight stats of countries compared on the basis of nicotine consumption, just for curiosity.

I read this story. I really question if the story is correct. You could easily have an additonal 100 people, all of them obese, and the ferry, because it is so large, would not sit much deeper in the water than perhaps one additional inch. Big deal. Even if the ferry is full, there are discrepancies in the weight caused by the number, size and weight of the vehicles, and there are no adjustments made.

Looks to me like someon needed to come up with a story...
