What's worst? A smoker or someone obese?

I've noticed people are willing to chastise smokers and larger folk for unhealthy habits but which is worst?

    A smoker. It increases your chances of cancer and other health issues. While being obese does aswell it might not be completely your fault. Bad eating habits your parents taught you, depression..ect. But Smoking is a self inflicted horrible thing you do to yourself.

    Definitely smoking!

    Obese. Many smokers live a long age, some even over 100 (I can't remember the source of this though...might wana search that up). But I never heard of an obese old person...

    i'd say a smoker. although obesity can cause health problems depends how obese you are smoking is a 100% guaranty health problems. ontop of that you are causing everyone else problems by smoking. stress, 2nd hand smoking, etc..

    you can easily change your lifestyle for obesity.
