Well lets see...this is kinda hard to answer.

My grandparents on both sides were non smoking, religious teetotalers. But,their vice was the down home appalachian food, served with a side of lard,that they grew up on and continued to eat their whole lives....mmmm pappaws chicken and dumplings......My parents however, while their weight is relatively in check for the most part, smoke like freight trains and have terrible drug and alcohol problems.

Then you get back to me and my brother, while we were teenagers we did drugs and drank quite a bit. Now that we are older and have kids we dont drink or smoke or do drugs, but we are both over weight...go figure.
