Well first of all saying cigarettes only do harm is not true. The people smoking them get enjoyment, pleasure, and relaxation. It creates jobs from field to counter. It's obviously worth it to those that smoke; and obviously not worth it me, and not worth it to you.

I agree with you on a lot of your sentiments but not your solution. You don't force people to make the same decisions you do when it comes to stuff like this, you convince them.

Smoke rises and dissipates, if you're generally staying away from smokers then just regular pollution is worse then what they're putting out. (But I still get it, it's annoying, I don't like them, but still not the role of government)

You don't see commercials for cigarettes anymore because they made it illegal, no other reason.

I don't think I'm the one being close minded here either. I agree with most of what you're saying, you're just ignoring how easily "your solution" can and will be abused by other people

And just to some up I leave you with a quote:
