I think the most obvious example that fits your theory is obesity. Doesn't seem like as great as risk as smoking but it's arguably at least in similar territory for long-term health implications.
Still, I favor tobacco-free environments simply because it's far more pleasant and more fair (see my earlier post ref smoke breaks). Plus I tend to agree about taxing the s**t out of cigarettes with proceeds going to cancer research or something similar.

(Don't worry, no risk to virtual smoking.
