It's a fallacy because your children didn't take up smoking? That's quite an in-depth investigation you've got there.
The only fallacy is suggesting that studies would claim every single child of a smoker would take up smoking themselves.

No it's not, it's about banning smoking in dribs and drabs without ever being honest enough to just ban it outright...

That would be another fallacy. The subject header clearly states what this is about. It doesn't suggest an all-out ban.

Alarmist speculation. Smoking is a unique threat, and it should, and will be be dealt with accordingly.
