Tobacco products should not be banned, our world is already becoming very full of people. I know this may sound wrong but... people that choose to smoke take on the very high chance of getting many forms of cancer. Thus killing people quicker, that may sound twistid, it really does need to happen. people die anyways, this just quickens the process.
In the US, tobacco print ads are required to have a box listing some of the problems associated with tobacco use. Ads for tobacco products are not permitted on broadcast media. There are no comparable requirements for alcohol, although some types of alcoholic beverages may not be advertised on TV or Radio and there are other minimal requirements to tell people to "drink responsibly" and so forth.
