I support smokers and fat people.
There are too many stupid *******s on this planet already. If more of them want to kill themselves off by eating or smoking themselves to death, I support their right to want to do it. I have the choice of not going to the privately owned businesses (open to the public) where they engage in their activities.
That choice is exactly the same as my choice to not smoke or not eat disgusting food.
Smokers do not contribute to my health in a negative way because I don't go to restaurants or bars that allow smoking.
Fat people do affect me in a negative way, however, because they cost they place an extra burden on the health care system. I don't know exact figures off the top of my head. I wrote a report last semester and I recall conservative estimates regarding the cost of obesity to the economy were put around $70-$100 billion.
But again... it's their choice and I don't know how much that figure actually affects me. Would our healthcare system be better if tons of obese people weren't obese? I dunno. But then I suppose we'd have a more competitive society and that would make things tougher.
At least when I'm around a lot of smoked out whales, suddenly I look a whole lot more attractive (relatively speaking).

And ps: it affects the overall esthetical surroundings. It's depressing to walk around in a place filled with lardarses!
