Do you think it's right to judge people for unhealthy habits?

People judge me because I smoke cigarettes but these same people live off fast food, which is bad for you. I feel like unless you live a completely healthy lifestyle, you have no room to judge.

You are right, fast food isn't healthy either, but everyone has to eat. It's a needed function. These people just choose poorly sometimes when they do eat. They also only hurt themselves with it. Virtually everyone will occasionally eat something they shouldn't, whether it be fast food, snacks, desserts, sugared drinks, etc. Our society in general is kind of cheap and lazy as well. If all these people had well cooked, healthy meals placed in front of them for every meal, I'm pretty sure they'd rather eat that than going to McDonalds.

No one has to smoke. It serves no purpose other than to poison you and those around you. It smells bad. It can burn the eyes. It's viewed as a massive turnoff to many. It's unwelcome in most public places. It's a huge waste of money (how many parents neglect their children in some way to continually dish out cash for cigarettes?)

So while I don't think the two can really be compared (as a non smoker, it's hard to grasp the concept of why someone would want to smoke at all. There are no benefits.) at the end of the day, people shouldn't judge others, period. As long as a person isn't negatively affecting other people against their will, they should be left alone. Of course that is not how society functions.

I completely agree!

I'll go on a limb and say even if you DO live a healthy lifestyle (which is rare), you still have no room to judge on these reasons.

You're 22, you have kids (I looked at your profile so I'm assuming you meant more than 1) you smoke (which is extremely unhealthy for you). I understand their reasons to judge so quickly. But there's always going to be people judging you. Yes those people may need to make lifestyle changes. But you also could make a few! Be the bigger person and make your life better. And then you don't have to worry about people judging you!

it other people's lives, i try not to butt my head in

I think if a person wants to smoke that is their choice, I am not going to go around going on to smokers about how unhealthy cigarettes are and stuff. If I am walking past a smoker in the street the smell does not even bother me because if cigarettes really were as bad as you only had to walk past one smoker once and you had cancer then don't you think all the smokers would be dead after their first cigarette. I also don't believe that a non-smoker breathing in second hand smoke is as dangerous as what an actual smoker is getting. Now I am not saying smoking is not dangerous, what I am trying to say is I think some people are too over the top. My only judgment of smokers is them littering their butts wherever they feel like it.

No its not right to openly judge... however I have been guilty of thinking it to myself. But dont mind me, I'm a health junky lol

[MyNameIsJonas]

Well I kind of do live a completely healthy life style... I sort of don't like when people smoke. Although they can do whatever they like.

It's stupid to judge anything unless you have to and that goes particularly for people. Ideally you should only make a judgement when not making a judgement is a judgement.

[Zigzagz]

People will always judge one another on literally everything. It's unavoidable.

[Anonymous]

They have as much right to judge you for smoking as you do for judging them for eating fast food. You're not judging them, you're just saying the habit is bad.

[aoifeislovable]

Exactly... no judge

[bubbletrouble]

No not in my opinion
