Are you making the case that health insurance or term life insurance rates should be the same for a three pack a day smoker or majorly obese person, as they are for a fit non smoking athlete?

Yes. The market decides the price for a product. Do we make junk food more expensive for fat people? I know, every time you shop, you have to get weighed. If you weigh more than the American Heart Association recommends, food is more expensive and you can only buy certain veggies. lol
Weight is also genetic, some are predisposed to being over weight.
