If smoking is the #1 cause of preventable death, and obesity is #2 and gaining, why is it acceptable to chastise smokers but not obese people?

Asked by Dutchess_lll (8745points) December 29th, 2018

The health problems associated with both costs society a lot of money.
We have made it illegal to smoke in public so it won’t affect nonsmokers, so they aren’t hurting anyone but themselves and possibly family members (and everyone I know smokes outside and don’t smoke in their cars when the kids are with them.) But they’re setting a bad example.
Obese people are setting a bad example for their families, especially their kids, too.

Why is it OK to dis a smoker to their face and not an obese person?
