I think the first one is an obligation but the second one is a MORAL obligation.
Example:
The doctor told me I should go to the gym. (Advice).
I have to pee. (There is nothing you can do about it, your organism is telling you to go now).
I must not smoke (You know it is bad for you, but you have the option to do it or not. No one is telling you, but yourself).
