Overweight and drunks, yes, as they choose their lifestyles.

Not all overweight people overeat, there are some that are genetically predisposed to being overweight.

Have smokers pay a higher premium, that I have no problem with and I am a smoker, but, where will it stop?
Banning smoking in the workplace is fine with me, as there are people that have health issues where being around smoke can cause problems, banning smoking in resturants I DO have a problem with, it should be up to the individual resturant/bar owner not the government.

What people do on their own time as long as its legal should NOT be held against them.
