People shouldn't be obese. That's just unhealthy. But there's no use in shaming them. After putting on a lot of weight while carrying triplets I was more motivated by positive reinforcement, and not motivated at all after negative reinforcement. It took me a while to get back to my original weight (I was never obese, of course. It'd have taken me much longer if I had been. I was maybe considered 10 lbs overweight at my worst). In fact when people start hating themselves for being overweight, they tend to overeat and just put on more weight. Which seems counterproductive, and it is.
Skinny shaming shouldn't be done either (I'm not quite skinny enough to be told that I need to eat a sandwich, but my daughters are. They're also almost as tall as I am and they're only ten. So they get picked on for being tall and really slim) Though I think it's mostly done because many girls do have eating disorders. Not just eating too much, but bulemia and anorexia as well. The idea is "You don't need to be that skinny". Of course if your BMI is in the normal range (or even slightly underweight) then it's really unnecessary.
I used to be a smoker. I never smoked much, I had it pretty well under control. I gave it up because it's really unhealthy, and it can cause a large number of problems later in life. When I heard an ad on the radio that it costs you so many minutes of your life, I was determined to quit. It was easy for me because I hadn't smoked much. I will say though that I think quitting smoking is easier than losing weight. Oddly smoking will help some people lose weight (legalize cocaine instead tbh). I don't get though why smokers get smoke breaks at work. That seems to encourage it.
