Why do they have to be stopped? As long as they aren't hurting others (which they won't be with smoking now banned in public buildings and what not) then I don't see why it's a problem.

Where I live, smoking isn't a huge problem for others but it's still noticeable. Also, some countries have public healthcare systems funded by taxes, which means it will be the taxpayers that pay for the treatment of smokers if and when they get sick from it. And some are going to die anyway, which again costs money, because they won't be paying taxes anymore. Of course from an economical point of view it would be good if smokers died shortly after retirement, I guess.

tl;dr: It's expensive and not just for the smokers.
