Banning smoking would not stop people from smoking. It would merely create a black market for tobacco. Just as in the 20's alcohol prohibition did not stop alcohol consumption.
Additionally, tobacco prohibition would lead to an increase in law enforcement spending while also cutting off a very lucrative tax revenue.
