What I would like to see is a progressive tightening of laws regulating smoking so that it becomes increasingly difficult to do it anywhere other than in a private house and is eventually outlawed altogether.
But many activities are likely to kill you. Driving a car, eating the wrong types of food, obesity and lack of exercise, etc. Where do you draw the line? I think we have to let people make up their minds as to the activities they engage in.
