Should I be worried about husband's habits

I'm just after a bit of perspective. I do tend on the side of anxiety and I'm looking for realism here.
I worry about some of my husband's lifestyle habits but is it unnecessary?
I don't want to end up nagging him.

He vapes, sometimes smokes. He used to be a smoker but tends to vape more than smoke now.
His lunches are generally processed - think pies/pasties etc.
He quite frequently polishes off a large chocolate bar each evening (the family sized one) or a pack of biscuits.
He drinks coffee or energy drinks more than anything else, very little water for example.
Doesn't willingly eat fruit/veg/salad.
Never has breakfast.

But on the flip side, he doesn't drink alcohol, is generally a reasonable size - admittedly there's a few extra pounds than there have been, but I wouldn't even say he's overwhelmed and he gets decent sleep and has a semi manual job.

I don't want to pressure him and I'm aware I do carastrophise and generally get anxious about things.
He's 36.

Are you concerned about his health? Weight? Looks?

I guess his future health is my concern. Storing up potential issues in future. His parents are generally healthy at almost 70, his family is generally active and I think has some kind of 'good health genes'. Am I worrying about nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️
