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.
I think this is an example of what I'm saying. What you are saying isn't really that bad but lets rework that into something about fat people, say:
"Fat people throw their candy wrappers all over the place, they are asking to be made fun of, very few are considerate of others"
That would be considered horrific fat shaming. It's definitely a double standard.
