One American study reported that Americans are inclined to dislike smokers more than obese people. This study said that 17% of people disliked smokers in 1991 and they increased to 25% of people in 2011. It seems that Americans take tougher stance on smokers than before.
On the other hand, there were 12% of people who disliked obese people in 2011 and this is less than 16% of people in 2003.
What do you think about smokers and obese people?

Yokoso Tam! I hope to be among your friends.
To dara gino. That's right.
Kunichiwa Tam! Smokers bring smoke to their lungs.
To Onee-chan. Thank you for the comment. I agree with your comment of "we should pay more attention to our health.".
People said that it is okay being fat as long as they are healthy. They generally do not think their health in a long period. Being fat or obese will lead us to be sensitive with any disease. Meanwhile, smokers will get their effect more quickly with a daily pain, I guess. So that people are inclined to disliked smokers. Whereas, the way to get back from being obese is absolutely more difficult.
Both of them are not good, so we should pay more attention to our health. Nice topic!
To A738a. Thank you for the comment.
To setareh. I agree with you. Smokers are disliked by their manners but not their character.
Obesity is a disorder, it cannot be helped, and if someone is an obese, there are specialists who can help him. However, smoking is an either-or situation- you can either be a smoker (in some cases a chain-smoker) and choke on nicotine or you can choose a better way to deal with your problems. We can't love a smoker and hate an obese or vice versa.That's barbaric! Both of them need professional help. Of course I'm talking about those who think smoking is going to solve their problems, not those who smoke to seem cool or whatever.
If a person smokes around non-smokers, it shows their selfishness. I don't like it; I mean i don't like this behavior not their character as whole. I have seen so many over weighted people who are so kind and nice.
To MARY. Thank you for your comment. I think the reason why they are disliked is that obese people is thought like hey can't take care of self and smokers cause trouble around non-smokers.
