Don't ban them, that'll just start up a black market for them which way less safe and also makes sure the government doesn't get any portion of the sales to fund healthcare.
I say slowly ramp up the tax on them, incentiving smokers to quit. The higher price would also help prevent future smokers from picking up the habit since they'll be so expensive, for pretty much no gain.
That's what they've been doing for years. It doesn't really seem to work and is effectively just a tax on the poors.
