Yup, we gotta stick together on this.
According to a 2006 study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, obesity has surpassed smoking as the leading cause of premature deaths. But do you see any of the self-righteous going up to a fat person and telling them that they should put down the Twinkie and lose weight? Nope, they save the sermons for smokers.:mad:

Obesity also surpasses murder as a cause of death, doesn't mean we should stop prosecuting murderers. Just saying, your argument doesn't hold water.

Didn't realise it was an argument but, sure, I'm in.
I wasn't saying that smoking was in any way better than being grossly fat, I was simply pointing out that tut-tutting smokers has become an almost ritualistic right amongst the holier-than-thou. But those same self-appointed guardians of all that is pure and holy wouldn't dream of telling some fat slob that they're digging their own grave with a spoon. To say nothing of the drain on health care their fat butts are responsible for.
Smokers also don't have the luxury of claiming that they smoke because they're "big-boned" or it's a "glandular problem", as they waddle up to the buffet for the 7th trip of the evening.
How about booze? When are we going to see graphic pictures of car crashes, cirrohses (sp?), and domestic abuse on every booze label? Oh no, can't do that. But smokers, sure, they're social pariahs.
Second-hand opinions are every bit as obnoxious as second-hand smoke. Long as I'm not smoking in their space, I don't want to hear about it.
 
people make fun of fat people all the time, to their face, behind their backs, just with in ear shot... how ever someone being grossly fat doesn't affect other people's health unless they fall on them or something. And last I checked we were cracking down on drinking. higher prices, nasty fines for driving after a drink but not being drunk.

OK, that's a different argument (yes, they are arguments). The number of deaths caused by obesity/smoking doesn't seem to be pertinent after all.

Anyways like CG said, fatties get mocked and criticised all the time, so that doesn't hold water either. Plus you have to consider that eating is kinda important, so overeating is kind of a grey area. Smoking, not so much.
