So, the health effects of smoking are born only by the smoker? There are no economic impacts on the general public? Not to mention second-hand smoke.

Having a healthier society benefits everyone. Having a large portion of the population engage in behaviors that hurt public health is harmful to everyone.

That isn't to say it should be illegal necessarily, but it should be heavily discouraged. That includes by government policy.
