I think that if a person is a grown @$$ adult, that the only thing you need to remember, regardless of whether that person is a smoker, or weighs 400 pounds, is
Nobody asked me.
I'm not directing this at you personally, KLPDaisy, but the thing is - I'm not that person. I'm not living in his/her body. And you're not telling the fat person/the smoker anything that they haven't already heard a thousand times before, nor are you telling them anything that they haven't already thought themselves.
