There's a massive difference between taxing something like "being black" or "renting an apartment", where it's either an immutable part of who you are or something very difficult for many to change due to something like socioeconomic status, and something like smoking, which, while yes, it's addictive, is still a choice. And, again, it's a choice that is actively harmful to the smoker and everyone around them. So if you really want to make a point, I strongly encourage you to find a different example, because this one just sounds like you're a smoker who's angry that they have to pay more in taxes to continue to be able to pollute the air with carcinogens.
