If smoking was brand new & was introduced now it definitely would be illegal. That's if it could be brand new & we could still have all the knowledge of the health risks that go with it, lol.
The trouble is governments make so much money from TAX on cigarettes that they're not going to kill that particular golden goose. So they just stop you smoking in certain places, but still let you buy tobacco.
If you were wanting to make smoking illegal you could use the same arguments for making alcohol illegal. Cannabis already is illegal, & all cannabis is is stuff to smoke that has an effect similar to alcohol.
If it was health grounds for making stuff illegal you could, having got rid of cigarettes & alcohol, then get rid of sweets & fatty foods. The problem is many of these things are only a problem if used in excess, or if used antisocially.
