Article Abstract:
Smoking changes body shape, according to physiologist Alex Milne. It boosts the waist-to-hip ratio, creating fat around the waist. This is why many smokers, although they are not heavy, have a pot-belly. This theory is supported by the charity Action on Smoking and Health, which states that smokers store the normal amount of fat in an abnormal way. This body-fat distribution can bring a raised risk of health problems such as heart disease and diabetes.

They find that chanting gradually becomes part of their everyday life, making them feel much calmer.
