You have to put things into perspective, why should you care less about living now then in 40 years in the future? Chances are your quality of life will only get worse etc.

The quality of your end of life gets (on average) much worse if you smoke.
Not only do you die 5 minutes earlier, but you also spend more additional time with disease impacting your quality of life, such as COPD.
IMO, all cigarettes should have cyanide added to them to reduce the costs to society by speeding-up the slow suicide and excess harm to others.
Diesel vehicles are extremely hazardous causing great harm to millions but go under regulated because of money. ICEs should die.
Alcoholic drinks don't directly harm anyone else in their consumption and the QALY/micromorts involved are small.
Do you have any other rude, unscientific arguments?
Also, the suggestion to make products more deadly so that they are used less seems like bad policy. Reduction of harms usually does not mean killing the patient.
