I can't understand anything that impacts me directly or tells me what
to do, at that level, if I don't hurt others and do so in the privacy
of my own house.


In places with socialized medicine, deliberately ingesting potent
carcinogens *does* hurt others, eventually, even when done privately.
(I don't know whether IL is such a place.)

Not to say that I support (or oppose) anti-smoking laws.  Just pointing
out that It's Not That Simple.

 
It's a lot simpler than that. If it's right to criminalise cocaine, then 
it's right to criminalise activities that primarily hurt the user, and
only hurt others as a side effect.
