If you really think cigarettes only harm smokers stick with that fallacy and let people knock it down before you start on the human rights track. I'd almost respect a smoker who says, "That's right, I'm killing myself, my family, my pets, and innocent bystanders, and furthermore I demand that you pay exorbitant taxes, insurance premiums, and healthcare prices to make that death as slow as possible."
Heh, you're naive, second hand smoke is doing about as much damage to you as the UV radiation you absorve into your body every second of every day.
Cite some sources that haven't been refuted. Even Penn & Teller retracted their claims on that front.

I'd ban admission restrictions for all university students trying to get into the Master of Education studies. A little specific, I know, but this is going to give me a fucking ulcer one of these days. I'm studying to be a teacher, and the harder of the two subjects I study has a grade average attached to its Master studies prerequisites.
Problem 1: If you fail to stay below the set average you'll be barred from entering the Master studies. You don't get put on a waiting list, you get the "Thanks for playing" card.
Problem 2: As a teacher, nobody hires you if you don't have a Master's degree in all of your study branches.
Seriously, this shit has started giving me nightmares. If I don't make that damn average grade I've flushed 3 years of my life down the toilet, which I can't afford.

Hmm, one thing I'd want to ban is alcohol. But some alcohol is used for cleaning wounds and such...
Then I'd ban all alcohol that isn't medical.
Didn't America try that once?

You'd ban...failure? Like everybody just gets to do whatever he or she wants to do with no standards applied to it?

To ban:

Censorship and laws criminalizing victimless crimes.

If there's no victim, why is it a crime?

Oh, also efforts to ban internet anonymity and undermine privacy rights.

I wouldn't ban anything, I don't hate human kind and I don't have a god complex.

Instead of banning something can I unban a few things?

A 12 Year old who willingly knows what they're doing blows a man in a car park is victimless because both parties gave consent but it is still a disgusting act and people who do it should be punished
That's...oddly specific.

And where'd you find a 12 year old who knows what she's doing? (ba-dum psssh!)

They used to say that about homosexuality. And interracial couples, too. "It's icky so we must stop them!"

Insipidness aside EDIT FOR NINJAS:

12 year olds can't give consent, that's not a victimless crime. It's child molestation. A 16 (or older in some countries) year old who blows a guy in a car park with consent however. Shouldn't be a crime, what if he's gay? Hmm? Should we stop that because he enjoys sucking cock?
He says it better than my half-asleep brains can. But thanks for jumping to pedophilia to try and make me feel guilty about liking freedom, though.

EDIT AGAIN: Though I should keep the part where I mention that consent doesn't just mean not saying no. That's an important thing to remember.

ONE MORE TIME: Also, to give more of a substantial answer for general cases, either the younger one can give consent, and all that happens is you think it's icky because of an age difference; OR it's not a victimless crime because the younger one can't consent. So, that doesn't even address victimless crimes at all. But again, thanks for trying to bring the Pedo Hunt into this to do... whatever you meant to do, but unfortunately you can't have your cake (it's victimless) and eat it too (it's molestation).

HUH: "Discredit me"? I had no idea I typed that. It sounds stupid. Also has nothing to do with anything.

I would hope everybody agrees that a 12 year old is constitutionally incapable of consenting to something like that with an adult. If he wanted to make it challenging he should have mentioned two 12 year olds in which case there's no obvious predator involved.

I would ban stupid people. Yup, I said it.
But how would we seperate stupid people from everyone else? Everybody is going to act stupid at one point.

- Because they are pricks and dont contribute to society, or evolution in any positive way.
But if we didn't have assholes, we couldn't poop. If we don't poop, we die.

Unrelated to the quoted post, i'd ban stupidity. Impossible to enforce, but nevertheless it would be awesome.
