Can an employer choose not to hire you because you are a smoker?
       If it conflicts with your job like if you are taking smoke breaks too often and not getting work done, or if it damages the image of the company like if you were hired to talk to people about the dangers of smoking and then you go out and smoke then it is ok if they don't want to hire you but if they are just personally against smokers then it isn't justified and it's not right.

Can an employer choose not to hire you because you are obese?
       It's the same, because an employer cannot hire someone who cannot complete work requirements so if your weight is an issue and it hinders you from completing your job then they shouldn't hire you. If they are just trying to make everyone look a certain way because they made a judgement call that thinner people work better than overweight people and it is just their opinion then it isn't right not to hire someone.
