I think that fat deaths aren't going up, smoking deaths are just going down.

What about fatties who smoke? If they kick early due to a massive heart attack is the death counted as fat related, smoking related, or both?

If we really want to examine the statistics, how do we count the fatty who smokes and dies after suffering a heart attack while driving drunk?

Both.

The one death gets listed in 5 categories - smoking, obesity, alcohol consumption, motor vehicle and drinking driving.

That's right - the 1 death will be added to the stats of at least 5 different categories.
