Well there's 5 to get you started.

I have no issues if you smoke, I used to do.
However I cannot agree at all with the passive smoking does not exist argument. You might as well say Cocaine is good for you, Drinking and driving does not hurt anybody, not wearing a seatbelt in a car is safer than wearing one.
If you wish to smoke, then all and well, but let's not hide our heads in the sand because Forrest and Big Tobacco say so.

I can find lots of sites on the internet which rebut all the things you've posted here, but I don't know how to post them myself, if anyone's interested enough I'm sure they'll look.
But I do agree that smoking is not a habit to be admired, and I know it's not healthy, my issue is to do with the powers that be trying to stop us from doing something legal via legislation which if we did stop would be detrimental to the economy, and also as an adult being told what to do by people with a holier than thou attitude to life who for some reason think they hold the upper ground in life.
