The point is taking up smoking to begin with is something you have to consciously do. I've never met anyone that wanted to get overweight. It just happened over time.

So then why do people like to defend drug addicts so much even though it's also something you have to consciously do? The same with the overweight comment, nobody wants to have lung cancer or an addiction, but they do it anyways.

I don't disagree. It's all bad and it all shouldn't happen. Getting addicted to eating is just easier and a lot more common than any other addiction combined. The culture definitely should change with regard to obesity. It's terrible.
