I presume you are aware that we have an extensive amount of evidence that cancer does exist and is a real and likely consequence of smoking, but that we have absolutely no evidence of a hell, much less of which actions would lead one there.

Actually, what if there is a hell only because so many people believe so and we go to hell because they believe/hope so? Would they stop believing so other people could enjoy a more peaceful afterlife?

Irrelevant to the point. The person really and truly believes something bad is going to happen to you, regardless of why.
