Yes it is a good comparison! Driving faster than 30mph is not illegal. Driving 30mph in places where this has been specifically forbidden is illegal. Similarly, smoking is not illegal, but under these proposals, smoking in places where is has been specifically forbidden will be illegal.
In both cases, the law was/will be changed for reasons of health and safety. The comparison is very good indeed.
