So I guess we should ban cars too because car exhaust contains hundreds of carcinogens that can cause illness and death? What, you GET cars? Cars don't cause any problems for you? Oh, right, they're good for YOU, and the economy, you're not going to complain. Something is used for leisure, you don't get it, you don't like it? Let's ban it. When did it become your right to tell everyone else what's good for THEM? If you don't like the effects of tobacco smoke you are free to not inhale it. Used to be a different story in public, sure, but the current set of laws takes care of that quite well. This is turning from a public health issue to another morality crusade.

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
