I think the reason for this is because more and more people are quitting smoking and more and more people are putting on weight so the odds are (excuse the pun) weighed toward the obese because the ratio is higher of obese vs smokers.

 

I don't necessarily agree that people are putting on weight because they are giving up smoking. Not everyone who is overweight was originally a smoker.

 

I didn't mean it that way what I'm thinking is that people are very conscious about smoking and less people are taking it up and more smokers are quiting however no one is worried about being obese and more and more kids are getting obese and growing up to be obese adults. Basically the kids will grow up and continue to eat all the fattening foods and be obese but they would never think of smoking so they won't die from the cigarettes because they won't take up smoking but they will from obesity.

 

Ok. I agree. People are also making a killing off of servicing the overweight, especially in the clothing department.

 

its just because its convinent and cheaper, we're all cheap asses and on the go

 

If you haven't seen Super Size Me I recc that you do so. It's more than just a bash on McDick's.

 

talking to me?

I already saw it twice i think, It didnt deter me from eating at those places but I can say i eat at those kind of places at most 4 times a month

what did deter me from eating there was that wendys thing in the chili...ever since it happend i've had only 2 burgers and that was from sonic which isnt that healthy but just pointing out where i went lol

 

On this point, it has become socially "acceptable" to criticise smokers because their actions are affecting you. Fat people dont give you cancer, they might just squish you on the train or steal your hot dog when your not looking but that's not going to kill you (unless you're suffocated ).

I put acceptable in quotation marks because while a lot of people feel that its their right to shoot off at people, but if done in the wrong way they'd still get a smack in the mouth from many smokers. If I were a smoker standing outside a building on a break and some nosey parker came up to me and told me what a disgusting habit it was I don't think that I'd take it well.

Yellow, I don't know how you can say that smoking can be attractive sometimes! If I see a nice looking girl walking down the street and my eyes follow her, the minute she lights up I turn away in disgust. I never used to be that way when I smoked but now it really turns me off.

 

In contrasting which is better, I was offering my opinion that a person that smokes can still be reasonably attractive physically, meaning they can still be fit, or good looking. To put it to an extreme example, Jessica Alba will still be hot to an extent whether she smokes or not.

Unless you like fat people, the general consensus is that "thin is in" and fat people are almost always unattractive physically.

I did not mean smoking is attractive. I DO NOT go to places and see a girl smoking and think to myself, "Oh my god the way she smokes is so hot."

With your example, her actions might deter you being attracted to her, but her physical appearance before she smokes and when she lights up the cigarette or blunt is the same.

 

Understood, but yellow teeth and hands doesn't do them any favours either
