Given that dying younger may be cheaper for society than dying older I think the economic case against smoking is dubious. Also the claim that it is all that tough to quit is somewhat disproven by the fact that many many millions have quit. Maybe half or more. The claim that secondhand smoke is annoying is true. Even to former smokers. That alone is a fine reason to ban it from most public places.
