Durch die Schaffung einer Generation von Menschen, die niemals rauchen, könnten weltweit 1,2 Millionen Todesfälle durch Lungenkrebs verhindert werden. Ein Verbot von Tabakprodukten für Menschen, die zwischen 2006 und 2010 geboren wurden, könnte bis 2095 in 185 Ländern fast die Hälfte (45,8 %) der künftigen Todesfälle durch Lungenkrebs bei Männern und etwa ein Drittel (30,9 %) bei Frauen verhindern.

From the linked article:
Creating a generation of people who never smoke could prevent 1.2 million deaths from lung cancer globally, according to international researchers. The simulation study using historical data on 82 countries including Australia and New Zealand suggests banning the purchase of cigarettes and other tobacco products among people born between 2006 and 2010 could prevent almost half (45.8%) of future lung cancer deaths in men, and around a third (30.9%) in women in 185 countries by 2095.
Yes but hear me out…do we need an extra 1.2 million breeding within the over population?
Banning drugs will work this time.
My grandmother died of lung cancer from smoking when I was 8. All I remember of her was her laying in bed hacking and coughing and wheezing and coughing up crap while us kids played in the living room, trying to not hear it.
