I agree with your assertion but suggest you misunderstood mine. Well meaning politicians in liberal democracies would do well to consider carefully before crossing the line between encouragement and coercion when trying to modify individuals behaviour "for their own good". Health facism can include appealing arguments like "the State pays for your healthcare so we can punish you for risky bahviour". Australia's TGA today rejected an application to permit smokers to legally purchase a safer source of nicotine (e-liquid for vaping), largely due to pressure from the same groups patting themselves on the back for what a great job they've done making life harder for smokers.
