Saying that heart disease is obesity-related, but not smoking-related, is insane.

While cigarettes are also a short-term appetite suppressant, smoking has also been shown to contribute to other things (high blood pressure, COPD, etc) that have elements related to obesity. Many also gain weight upon onset of these elements of poor health.
