I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight.
The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos:

Hard to even believe this is the same guy!
Do you really think people who smoke don't have "the slightest concern?" I think they do. They just ignore or suppress the concern because they are either: (1) addicted; (2) hoping miraculously to avoid cancer or some other insidious illness and thinking that perhaps it will strike some other poor soul; (3) intentionally living "in the moment" forgetting the potential impact while knowing it exists; or (4) chosing to do it because they like to smoke despite all the risks.
And (5) know it's bad and want to quit, but lack the willpower to do so.
It's a very addicting habit and quitting was one of the hardest things I've ever done.
