I used to be a heroin addict, and to answer your question, no, atleast not in the US. I don't think it should be either. Just like fat shouldn't be a disability. It's ridiculous that these fat slobs ate themselves into their condition and now want sympathy because of it.  We shame drug addicts into getting clean, we should do the same with food addicts. Simple as that. Obesity isn't a disability, you saw it coming, did nothing about it, continued to shove your gullet full of food and here you are, how is that an actual disability? One doesn't goto bed a normal weight and due to no fault of their own, wakeup the next day 150lbs heavier.  We're just giving these fattys another reason to keep eating.
