    The increased weight is an annoyance, perhaps, but, the
    inability to endure smoke-filled rooms is in no way a worse.

    As most studies have shown, if life-prolongation is a goal, it's a plus.

    The reanimated ability to taste foods fully is a definite plus,
    and was probably a contributor to the weight gain....
