That said, I don't think smoking is any worse than obesity when it comes to long-term health issues - don't eat twinkies in the same room as me either if you are >25kg overweight.
What about alcoholism? Loads of help on giving up smoking, loads of tv progs on dieting, but curiously little help for those with this terrible problem. Surely smokers & over eaters don't go around abusing their familes.
Now there's a raw nerve, if ever.....
