This is stupid. Smoking has high social negative externality. It causes cancer to the smoker and to others around the smoker. Who pays for the treatment of those affected? All tax payers.
Want to die? Die fast, not in a way that waste everyone’s money, and don’t take others with you.
In the UK it is forbidden to smoke in public places and the revenue from taxes on cigarettes is several times what the healthcare service spends on smoking-related illnesses.
So I'd say things are already exactly as you wish.
