Your comparison isn't apt. I don't think banning being overweight or fat (two separate poorly defined physical attributes) is the same thing as banning (e-)cigarettes (a specific type of product), so I don't think the same argument can be made. If you make this argument in the future, maybe you should think about comparing it to the banning of a particular type of unhealthy food (which is similar in scope to e-cigs and cigarettes). I think this entire line of thinking of you and the parent poster is flawed anyway. Denying health insurance to anyone would probably have negative effects for all of us anyway (the insured usually end up paying anyway at different levels, whether that's through higher premiums at the personal level, lower productivity overall at the national level, or dealing with an untimely death/sickness of friends/family at the local level).
