If you had the power, which health problem would you eliminate first?

Smoking or obesity? You would have the power to completely wipe it out. So all smokers would be healthy again, and all obese persons wouldn’t be obese anymore.
And why would you eliminate that one over the other one?
The two choices I asked were smoking or obesity.
I know there are a lot of other health issues out there, but I was wondering about the comparison of those two.

Obesity. It causes more disease than even smoking.

diabetes
rheumatoid arthritis
spinal degeneration
knee degeneration
high blood pressure
heart disease
bad cholesterol
coronary artery disease
stroke
sleep apnea
cirrhosis of the liver
gestational diabetes during pregnancy

and the list could go on and on
