My mother was one that worshiped the cigarette all her life until it finally put her in the grave at an early age. She was only 69. To the very end she declared, I smoked because I chose to and this is what I deserve. All of her children, excluding me, used tobacco at that time. To the best of my knowledge all four of my younger siblings quit using tobacco shortly after her funeral. They made a "choice", not to willingly kill themselves.
Over eating has the same consequence over time; just as under eating can also harm our bodies.
We need to have the mindset that our bodies are a temple, a gift, given to us by our G_d and should be treated as such. We should never willingly do anything that would cause us harm.
