"I like to make a different point why I think smoking is worse:
Because it harms people (especially non-smokers) who are near you when you smoke."
I'm in favor of anti-smoking laws (because the burden that smoking puts on our Canadian healthcare system), but there really isn't any convincing evidence that second hand smoking has much of an impact on health.
With that said, the question really depends on how badly you're eating or how much you're smoking. My vote goes to bad eating/sedentary lifestyle.
The impact of smoking has been vastly overrated (at least, so my teacher's tell me in med school) to help convince the public to quit. Statistics can be manipulated any old way.
I also think a lot of smoking hazards can be compensated for with a good diet. Obviously, avoiding smoking AND eating well are primordial to being and feeling healthy.
