How does this compare to European smoking? In Europe there are a lot more smokers than last time I checked in the US. Smoking causes similar health issues as obesity, mainly cardiovascular events.

If the US could improve their food, or Europe could get rid of smoking, it would be a big jump in health outcomes for either.

I checked for that first, seems roughly equal[1] with some a bit higher, some a bit lower.
