Yes, because... The abuse of tobacco is not a reason to argue a causal link
Alcohol is safe if used in moderation. As is chocolate and bondage. Too much of any of these carries health risks. Responsible tobacco use is the same.
The problem is, cigarettes are highly physically addictive...even more so than chocolate or bondage (though I'm sure some would disagree!)
While some people do use tobacco 'moderately' the addictive nature of nicotine makes usage very difficult to regulate, and it easily increases to excessive levels, especially in times of stress.
While too much chocolate will cause weight gain and adversely affect your health, it does have antioxidant benefits, while any possible benefits from cigarettes are far outweighed by their toxicity.
