We live too long. More people need to kick off. There's something to be said for dying on more or less on your own terms as opposed to holding on to endure five or ten years where you need help to go to the bathroom.
Smoking helps thin the herd.

People dying of lung cancer at 60 isn't what I would call dying on your own terms. Also that is why smoking is such an awful thing, because it is a contributing factor in nearly every disease imaginable. Diseases which cost money to treat throughout the lifespan, COPD is a major burden on the health care system that negatively impacts quality of life as well as the quantity of years lived.
Honest question, do you smoke? Do you have children? Do you want your children to smoke... because umm freedom?
