We all are going to die, and people prefer to put their dying relatives in hospital just in case they can be saved. So the amount of hospitalized people will not change too much if someone makes lung cancer disappear completely. People will die from other reason, like a heart attack, other cancer, aneurism, ... So banning cigarettes will make people live longer (that is a good thing) but it will not change too much the number of hospital rooms needed.
