With the numbers mentioned in the article, it's nowhere near sufficient to ban smoking in bars or other areas. It should be permanently banned from everywhere, and production should be ceased. Let's see them pass legislation to do that.

And prohibition was later repealed when they wanted the tax money, even though it had overall health benefits to society.

I think we're more-or-less on the same side: I would love to live in a world where smoking was a thing of the past.

In re: alcohol... I would hate to give up port. There's an argument there for the artistry of the brewer/vintner, but overall alcohol consumption is pretty vile.

But you said "no one dares to go after them" which is wrong, and set off my "wait, what?" reaction.
