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....
