No, it is forcing people to buy unregulated products from illegal dealers. That sounds more dangerous to me.

No one is forcing people to buy cigarettes.

People are going to buy cigarettes. You can play make-believe and pretend that isn't true. Or you can grapple with the uncomfortable reality.

In reality, people will be buying illegal, possibly tainted cigarettes that are sold by organized crime groups. Same as any drug.
