A couple other problems come with ciggies. Massholes love to flick 'em. This means litter and brush fires. Large parks like Danehy have some brushfire fuel around - just add masshole.
In my opinion they should focus on banning smoking where it affects nonsmokers.
Parks are big enough so that it's easy to avoid smoke. But it's hard to walk down the sidewalk past certain bars without having to smell it, so I'd prefer it if they banned smoking there (not that there's a practical legal way to do so).

Outlaws in the park
When they outlaw smoking, only outlaws will smoke.
