Explanation:
Quizá suene fuerte pero entiendo que el aviso contra la vida sedentaria debe ser duro

Morirse súbitamente por accidente o enfermedad.
"le dio un infarto y se quedó en el sitio"

creo que la referencia a vicio en general encaja mejor con nuestra idiosincrasia y aparte resulta muy dudoso que el cigarrillo sea decisivo o imprescindible en el discurso, se tata de alertar contra quedarse en casa sentado

Dado q se trata de contexto cardiovascular, la segunda parte podría ser:
es el nuevo cigarrillo
es el nuevo tabaquismo

La apuesta por quedarse en el sitio sigue, aunque vuelvo a reconocer que queda fuerte

Quizá puede recrearse así:
Quedarse en el mismo sitio es el nuevo...
