If someone says something is impossible, that just means that they cannot do it personally...

This is impossible :)

I see stuff like this and wonder how well he could do without smoking.

Its obviously for his personal enjoyment and most likely achieving a personal goal without having to be concerned with anyone elses goals.

Do you look at a 400 lb to 600 lb pound person and wonder what could have been also?

Great, so you're justifying his selfishness. I feel for the people behind him who have to breathe his second hand smoke.

Sure, why not? I wonder the same thing for myself...

You could be concerned with your own goals... Or just pass judgement to feed your frail ego... The choice is yours alone :)

It isn't "or" and we all have ego based choices.

I can be concerned with my own goals AND can can pass judgement.

This is something we all do, even you.

That was my coach's rationalization for not sending me to state competition at the end of my freshman year, despite my quali's. I put a "head" onto his name when I said thanks, got in lots of trouble and went and got a job instead of further competition. Best decision ever. Thanks, Richard!
