No, she has no point.
Here are two quick reasons: time frame and cost.
Common injury while exercising:
-Torn ACL: depending on severity, the subject may be able to walk and function, without much support in the knee etc. The remedy is surgery and physical therapy, neither of which are particularly invasive to the work day - generally, the subject's ability to work any jobs not requiring motion or lifting is unaffected or only moderately altered. Subject can still be shifted to desk jobs, less strenuous tasks or etc.
Common injury while smoking:
-Heart disease: the number-one killer of Americans, and inextricably linked to cigarette smoking as a key factor. Requires hospitalization, and often changes work abilities in a severe fashion. Shortens productive lifespan. Surgical procedures often required.

Now, I don't have current insurance cost figures, but I would guarantee the second is more burdensome. Also, it's more common!
