I think it's wrong for a couple of reasons.
1. Most smokers start before 18 and smoking is highly addictive.
2. What you are taught about smoking is probably going to depend largely on where you are brought up and what class you are. I know in Idaho there are a lot of parents that don't teach their children the basics about health and safety.
I think the far better way to go about this is to provide a supportive atmosphere for employees to quit smoking.
As far as the smoking breaks thing goes, in my opinion everyone should be able to work at their own pace and be able to take some time to chill throughout the work day. So just allow everyone to take the equivalent of a smoke break when they need it.

Wow, that's pretty much abusive. I'd rather work with 100 smokers than one clever put down artist such as yourself.
