I thought it was more down to diet. America is quite low on the list of smokers. I feel that countries like Cuba simply can't afford what it takes to get heart disease and diabetes before you're twenty. |
Yeah, I felt BB's two statistics were extremely weak. So Cuban adult health care and diet is better than America's? Get in line. But it has a net emigration rate of 3.56/1,000 people and suffers from substantial economic shortages (food and consumer goods). With the collapse of the Soviet aid support system, Cuba has turned to Venezeula for subsidies.
