Do you think this will change? If you were obese, would you want your friends to tell you to do something about it? Discuss.

I don't agree that it's socially responsible and acceptable to tell someone to quit smoking. Telling your friends what to do is never a good idea, period.
If I were obsese, I'm pretty sure I'm smart enough to be able to figure that out on my own without any friends telling me.
