Actually I think the angle to ban smoking has always been the secondhand smoke- IOW your actions are harming others.

But there are also efforts to increase insurance premiums for smokers because their lifestyle increases insurance costs...would they also increase insurance costs for homosexuals on the same grounds?

furthermore, why are they then attempting to make it illegal to smoke in one's own home if it's just secondhand smoke that's the concern?

Well, certain risk factors will affect insurance premiums. I don’t know how the insurance industry deals with homosexual life expectancy. They may have other means to factor for the increased risk, such as medical history.
As for secondhand smoke- I should have qualified that. The initial excuse to meddle is the public good, but the goal is for the State to run your life since the elite are of course smarter than you and know what’s best for you.
