So rather than construct an actual argument you post a strawman that no one in this thread has said anything close to. The funny thing is that I can't tell whether you're deliberately using bad spelling to imitate a stupid person or just posting in your usual style.

Anyway, I feel like the anti-smoking crusaders don't realize that people who oppose these laws don't believe that cigarettes aren't unhealthy...they just believe that people should be allowed to engage in unhealthy behavior if they so choose. One's personal lifestyle is just a matter of cost/benefit analyses. Do I value the pleasure of smoking more than the negative health risks? Do I value the pleasure of eating more than fitness and physical attractiveness? The pleasure of playing contact sports more than the risk of injury? The answer to these questions is different for every person and the moral crusaders who want to regulate personal behavior are just assholes who can't mind their own business and feel the need to impose their own values and preferred lifestyle choices onto others.

Slight disagreement: it's more than just health risks. Cigs smell awful and make the environment around them so unpleasant. In cases of public smoking laws, it's too much of a nuisance to others to be up the smoker to decide. In the case of sales ban, private smoking can be for all ages for all I care.

I also support e-cigs in public since they are clean.
