Agreed.<p>As someone with Type 1 diabetes (look up the difference if you don&#x27;t know), I&#x27;m always interested in this distinction. Sugary foods neither &quot;give people&quot; nor cause Type 2 diabetes. <i>A person consistently consuming too many sugary foods over a long period of time</i> causes themselves to be at higher risk for Type 2 diabetes.<p>Cigarettes are a different beast, due to the chemically-addictive nature of them (although in this day and age, one could make the argument that people of all ages should know better than to start smoking, and should thus bear responsibility for the outcome - but that&#x27;s another discussion for another time).<p>Cigarettes != sugar. End of story.
