1. Wouldn't hate you. Might offer you suggestions for a better way of dealing with the problems associated with tobacco. (See below.)
2. Don't smoke, so it's a moot point.
3. Wouldn't move to another country.( See answer 2.)
Would allow tobacco to remain legal, but would place a higher vice tax on it and use a large portion of the proceeds to pay for medical care for people suffering from cancer, emphysema, heart disease, and other tobacco related ilnesses, as well as smoking prevention education and smoking rehab programs.
Would possibly legalize marijuana and place a huge vice tax on it, then use the proceeds to pay for drug rehab facilities and programs, as well as on research for better, more successful rehab methods.
PS - President doesn't have that kind of authority. For real power, become a senator.

The only problem, is you would put a lot of people out of work, so at the same time as you are outlawing "all of that crap", you might try thinking about creating some equally paying jobs for those people to do. It would be like outlawing soda pop, think about how many people would be put out of work because of that.
You have an idealistic world and a real world. Gotta live in the real world if you want to run a country. It's easy to say you can do these things, but not as easy to accomplish, as you might think.
Also, you would only create a black market for smokes, just like there was for alcohol during prohibition, and there is for marijuana and other drugs now. Out lawing something, only makes it the forbidden fruit that everybody wants to try. So it would really not have much affect anyway. Has the war on drugs done any good at all? NOT

3. Not on your life, God Bless America.

Good luck. You'd have the tobacco lobby and all the tobacco growing states in your face. You'd never get legislation to pass because you're the president and can't write the laws.

All that stuff would go on illegally if it was all banned
I wouldn't mind.
I hate cigarettes they're gross. I like to breathe fresh air.
But history tells us people will go to any length to get their pleasures

I smoke and that is probaly the only way that it would be possible for me to quit, therefore I would most certainly vote for you!

Depending on what all that other crap is, I don't think I would mind. Except my entire family would move, lol.
