what's the difference between saying "fat is beautiful" and "smoking is cool"?

People use 'fat is beautiful' as an excuse to do nothing about being overweight. Guess what, it's not ok to be fat and the health consequences associated with being fat are not good.

As for smoking, some people will say that it's 'cool' or 'sexy' and that's one of the reasons I started. Is it good for me? No, but it's something I enjoy and I only smoke around five cigarettes per day. Besides, that being my only vice, I lead an otherwise very healthy lifestyle as I'm at the gym five days per week, eat healthy and drink very little alcohol. I'll be bold saying this, but I'd rather be who I am than be fat any day!

"Fat" isn't necessarily "unhealthy". And smoking, always is. And when people say things like "fat is beautiful, curvy is beautiful" ect, they're trying to get people to accept their bodies, even if social media says skinny is the best thing to be and anything but skinny is ugly and unattractive. Stop trying to equate body positivity to the pretentious metaphorical idea that smoking is cool.

There are occasions when I sit here reading through these pointless questions and then it hits me: I'm throwing away my entire life.

Being fat is much healthier than smoking.

Fat is a subjective word. You're image of fat and my image of fat may differ quite a lot.

Smoking on the other hand, doesn't matter what you're smoking, in most cases it is bad.

Smoking is a bad habit and is very likely to be judged in bad ways because of its effects and all that but being obese or 'fat' is different because even though its a unhealthy lifestyle, every person is beautiful

Cough, cough.......because when I have to breath in your freakin' smoke my asthma acts up so bad that I would die without my inhaler!!

The fat dude next to me is just sitting there minding his own business. Maybe his breath is a bit labored, but he's not smelling up the whole room like a smoker would!

Next time a smoker lights up next to me I'm going to stand next to him and let a HUGE fart rip, see what he thinks of that!! >:-(

Food tastes better then cigarettes. Other then that, nothing really. ♥

none.
