What health issue concerns your area? The U.S. is concerned with obesity. That is probably a great thing to be concerned about because not only is most of these people (includes me) unhealthy but they are heavy and not visually appealing. My biggest health issue or concern is health care. What does your country or area have as their biggest health issue and what is your biggest concern personally.

That is sad when teens start smoking and drinking. They do not know what it is doing to their health.

@mommaj This is a problem in the UK too, as is the growing number of obese children and adults

@Auntylou I am glad they have banned the commercials. Kids are too easily influenced and think it's cool if others do it.

Let me take this health issue into metaphorical term!! I will say, not only my ara but my entire county is falling prey to the disease of 'blind religious following and intolerance to others'!!

How horrid. That is almost like the "Manson" (cult) following in US way back when... I hate to hear in this day and age that people are not thinking for themselves because there are too many irresponsible leaders that try to hurt others. As for intolerance to others, that could be from the small minded thinking of the one that leads. This is truly a shame.

I wonder whether it is the cancer. Since the pollution, it makes more people to have different kinds of cancer, especially lung cancer, I guess.

Cancer is a horrid health risk. It is sad devastating to watch someone else die from the disease. I hope there will be a cure found that is given to everyone.

Since obesity is the health problem of the US, you would think diabetes would be too. Everything associated with obesity is a growing risk as well.
