The freaky thing about GPS is that those accurate timers in those satellites are not on our 24-hour cycle. Earth's gravity affects the satellites less than it does down here on Earth (duh), and that speeds up the passage of time. The timers have to run a little bit slow to make up for the difference caused by low gravity.
Let them smoke. It may be bad for the individual, but it's great for society. The smokers work, pay taxes, and pay social security while they're young. Then, when it's time for them to retire, the smokers don't stick around very long. Meanwhile, where does all of that social security money go that they paid during several decades of working? It goes to the old people who didn't smoke when they were younger!
