Think about it.
Both are disgusting habits.
Both are caused by over indulgence.
Both are bad for your health.
Both cause really nasty odor.
Both make the person ugly.
The only difference I can think of is that there are more obese children running around that there are smoking children.

Good point, assiechick, but have you ever had a fat person step on your foot. It's pretty painful.

The difference is my love of eating chocolate harms no one else but myself. Smoking can kill others.

I am overweight and I don't smell bad.
Ugly is in the mind of the observer.
And I don't understand how eating, a function which is necessary to life, is a "disgusting habit". Lack of exercise, as well as overeating, is an equal cause of gaining weight, so that's not overindulgence.
These are my comparisons:
Smokers who get cancer are covered 100% by their insurance even though their actions caused their cancer and they knew their actions could cause cancer.
Overweight people's surgeries and medicines to treat obesity are NOT covered.
I have also said many times that if I had to stand up outside to eat I'd be thin.

Well the girl has got a point about harming others than herself, but at the same time, obese parents pass on the bad habits to their kids and then they are obese too.Those are two good things to compare. I think they are a lot alike, also including the fact that they kill about the same amount of people in America per year.

Personally, these are two different things. Smoking I think is much worse than obesity, because, smoking is definitely more of a personal choice. For example, most people aren't waking up one day saying, "I'm going to go buy LOTS of food, so I can be obese". But some people are addicted to smoking, so they need to buy these things. I think that both are things that no one should want to do or be like, because both are VERY dangerous.
