"just roll with it" genuinely the best advice

@riley a line must be drawn, unfortunately.

Unhealthy habits IMO must be socially unacceptable -- substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, tobacco, etc.), gambling addiction, unhealthy food habits all are a burden (apart from the person partaking in them) to close family/friends, and to society in general, thus the society must shun them.

And before I get flamed, I say this as a person who had to take care of a drug addict friend. Never again am I enabling a person's drug addiction by being silent.

@riley and don't get me started on obesity... Have you had a loved one faint on you for no apparent reason, you try to catch them but you can't hold them up because they're twice your weight. They fall, hit their head in the pavement. You can't feel pulse, can't feel breathing, you tell yourself *well this is how my X dies in my arms* and start doing chest compressions..

They came to, and the ambulance staff said it was possibly a drop in blood pressure (due to obesity)

Still having nightmares
