Well Europeans countries have single payer HC, more vacations and free time, less stressful corporate slave employment and are better educated. Its the STRESS that kills in reality more so than bad habits IMO.

England has the same "habits" we do just not the enormous amount of physical, financial and mental stress put on them by their corporations. They can get preventative treatment because everything is not brought down to the almighty dollar. They get time off, better pay, maternity leave ect..

it's all fun and games until the bubonic plague shows up again...

My dad was born and raised in Europe, and we had both European and American families for friends when I was growing up. The Europeans are less stressed out and more family oriented. I believe the family ties and more relaxed attitude may be a factor in this.
