Well, to use your example of smoking- if you had a voice like a great blue heron and constantly coughed and wheezed and spit out phlegm, people would rant about you as well. Those are attributes and behaviors caused by excessive smoking, and are horrifying to witness. (I've known more than a few men and women who have been like this.) Seeing a person like that smoke is revolting.
Seeing someone who is morbidly obese consume enormous quantities of stuff that is well known to be bad for you is every bit as horrifying to witness.
