(Pssst - don't tell anyone, but the bad choices and lack of self discipline that made them poor may also be why they smoke, rather than the "accident" of being poor being a causal factor)

Not just a lack of self discipline but a lack of economic discipline. If you are poor and spending money on cigarettes, you're not really concerned without changing your situation. Money spent on cigs could be better spent elsewhere.

The guvmnt should just allow food stamps to be used to buy cigs.
