What are your thoughts on fat acceptance?

The thing that bothers me is smokers are taxed up to their fucking eyeballs on tobacco products, while fat people are not when it comes to unhealthy food. Tax the hell out them. I am sick and tired of smoking being socially unacceptable while being obese is.

When someone obese is around someone their obesity isn't harming anyone. Smoking is harmful to non-smokers around them and they're hurting the bodies of others with a lung-damaging cancer-inducing poison.

It would be the equivalent of obese people always shoving a little of their food into everyone else's mouths every single time people were around them.

I think smoking around non-smokers should absolutely be illegal. I believe there should be special smoking bars and pubs for smokers. Damaging the lungs of people who don't wish to smoke is morally wrong, IMO.

But there's nothing wrong with choosing to be obese and unhealthy when you're not forcing that on anyone else. I think it's unwise and unhealthy but as long as you're not hurting anyone else it's not immoral.

 I believe more of the point Isis was trying to make is that both things are just as unhealthy. However, one affects those around them more than another does.
