I don't think people view these other things with the same level of vitriol as obesity. Personal disgust seems to be at play, masquerading as concern.
Personally, I think people are more openly and publicly vitriolic towards smokers than the obese.
Fat people don't usually have their fat waft over into other people's faces. And most smokers throw their butts on the ground. Smokers very often ask for it. Not all, of course. I have met a few (very few) smokers who are considerate of others.
