Amazingly, even Phillip Morris disagrees with you....
I was a major in political philosophy and your arguments and methods would be laughed out of any class in America

Health Effects
clear and consistent message
Cigarette smoking is addictive. It can be very difficult to quit but, if you are a smoker, this shouldn't stop you from trying to do so.
Cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and other serious diseases in smokers. Smokers are far more likely than non-smokers to develop diseases such as lung cancer. There is no such thing as a "safe" cigarette.
"Smoking is dangerous and addictive."
Smokers should continue to know about the dangers of smoking. Throughout this section, you'll find information about the health effects of smoking, along with advice on quitting. You'll also find links to public health authorities and other organizations that provide more details on those topics. In addition we've provided information about the ingredients in our cigarettes and the chemical compounds in cigarette smoke.
We support a clear and consistent public health message about smoking, disease and addiction wherever we sell our products. We also support laws calling for cigarette manufacturers to place health warnings on cigarette packaging and advertisements. In countries where no such laws exist we voluntarily place warnings on our packs, cartons and adverts. We want the facts to continue to be widely known.
Secondhand Smoke
Public health officials have concluded that secondhand smoke from cigarettes causes disease, including lung cancer and heart disease, in non-smoking adults, as well as causes conditions in children such as asthma, respiratory infections, cough, wheeze, otitis media (middle ear infection) and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In addition, public health officials have concluded that secondhand smoke can exacerbate adult asthma and cause eye, throat and nasal irritation. Secondhand smoke, also known as environmental tobacco smoke or ETS, is a combination of the smoke coming from the lit end of a cigarette plus the smoke exhaled by a person smoking.
The public should be guided by the conclusions of public health officials regarding the health effects of secondhand smoke in deciding whether to be in places where secondhand smoke is present, or if they are smokers, when and where to smoke around others. Particular care should be exercised where children are concerned, and adults should avoid smoking around them.
Philip Morris International believes that the conclusions of public health officials concerning environmental tobacco smoke are sufficient to warrant measures that regulate smoking in public places. We also believe that where smoking is permitted, the government should require the posting of warning notices that communicate public health officials' conclusions that secondhand smoke causes disease in non-smokers.
