While one can contort your four points to fit a sedentary lifestyle, I agree with you that soda fits them all trivially. I also agree that soda poses more of a direct and immediate threat to personal health, as it's a leading cause of obesity and also a major source of sugar, which itself is a leading cause of diabetes.
That said, there's still one thing smoking has over soda as well: second hand smoke is both annoying and harmful to nonsmokers. There's not an analogue to this for drinking soda or sitting.

Real honey, for example, is difficult to find because most honey sold in grocery stores is just honey-flavored corn syrup. Trying to avoid the sweet-foods avalanche is very difficult because it's everywhere.
