I bet the fact that a decent portion of the town has vodka for breakfast hurts their life expectancy numbers
this is a republican troll statement, right?
in one article the mining PR person or whatever said that they're all alcoholics and don't exercise. which i'm sure hurts.
BUT BREATHING IN #$!&@ SULPHUR DAILY IN THE MOST POLLUTED PART OF THE WORLD is really doing the damage here.
I dunno, I think each of those three factors (probably could throw in an elevated rate of suicide too) has a significant effect on the folks there having short life spans. The #$!&@ environment is probably the most important of the three, but I wouldn't sleep on the negative effects drinking a liter of vodka a day can have on your long term health.
