The problem with this, is that you will have to go a step further and start banning everything that is unhealthy. Smoking, even if only second hand, kills a whole lot of people, but so does sweets, fast food, car emissions and of course, the king of it all, alcohol. The question arises when are you still protecting the innocent bystanders and when your are trampling on other people's right (no matter how bad of a habit it is).
I am a smoker, and I have nothing against smoking only in designated areas. But if I am doing that I am at least expecting a ban on people using their cars in a 1km radius ride around their home, simply for pleasure purposes, as I can guarantee you, that does far more harm than the 1 cigarette I would smoke next to a bus stop.

Someone eating sweets doesn't affect you in any way (other through your taxes because of potential health problems they may develop). Second hand smoking does. Not only is it unpleasant, it could actually kill you if you're exposed to too much of it. The person sitting next to you eating candy won't.

Again, please read my post. I have nothing against staying in a separate ventilated room and inhale it myslef, untill I have that choic.e I never once smoke or smoked on the street as I do not need a smoke break when I walk. I do on the other hand like a cigarette next to my coffee or beer when I go out in the city in the weeknds. Is it healthy? Fuck no! Is it my choice? Of course.
