This sounds like an argument of whether you should save people from themselves tbh. It's true that smoking is terrible for your body. It's also true that it's some people's coping mechanism (it's a habit, as pjbasis said.) So it just depends on whether you think it is worth cutting off those people who smoke to cope (IE sacrifice mental health) in order to preserve their physical health. I think in a perfect world they would not exist and that people would just choose better coping mechanisms, but I think the most reasonable thing to do is what was suggested to just continue the anti-smoking campaign and try to weed it out that way.

Although I obviously disapprove of cigs, I do agree as pj said that it's possible to be responsible, if not for yourself then for others. Not doing it in a crowd full of people, in buildings, etc. To that end, maybe we need more regulations dictating when and where is appropriate to do such things?
