Hi.

Since smoking affects lungs primarly, it is more dangerous to smoke longer time. With time, hepatits b can progress and problems appears more and more. Also, being overweight gives some extra "bonuses" to bad health status.

I know it is not easy to change life habits, but even small step is a step. Reduce smoking and better food without fats and grill and alcohol, and your liver and you will be more happier.

All the best.
