I'm not a great fan of coerced legalized morality.
However, without it, we'd likely be having orgies in the park and probably are in many areas already. It will get worse.
Legislating morality is problematic. Still, at stoplights, I'm rather thankful for it.
Wheather you're a "fan" or not, at the end of the day you're still going to demand that it be done.

IOW if we can't regulate everything then we can't regulate anything. It's either handing over control of anything the government thinks need to be regulated or anarchy.
You haven't really addressed the problem of the means. You're going to want smoking banned in people's homes, at least in any homes where there are children present and preferably all of them. You won't be content to leave it up to the individual States and wait for them all get around to doing it or take the chance that some of them won't. You're going to want the federal government to do it, and they're going claim the authority to do so under the New Deal "anything that might affect commerce" clause. It's either that or get a constitutional amendment giving the federal government authority to do it, and you sure aren't going to be willing to wait for that. You may express some token regrets about having to do it that way, but you're still going to want it done.
