Of course, both are unhealthy. although there are degrees of 'fatness'. I quit smoking twice, gained over 20 lbs both times until I finally had had enough of the stretch leggings and baggy shirts and joined a weight-loss center. The good news-I lost 45 lbs in 6 months in 2000 and have kept all but 4 lbs off. The (truly) bad news, I'm smoking again. The possibility of being 'fat' again scares me as much as the effects from smoking.
It is a very sensitive issue no matter how it's approached. To ask you that was probably her way of reaffirming her decision, knowing the weight gain is inevitable.
Hindsight is always 20-20, so just keep being supportive in whatever she goes through and please, PLEASE, if she ever goes back to smoking, don't point out the obvious. We know, we know....
