Yes. I do want to smoke! If we cured death, would it be okay?

If something being OK or not is a moral issue. If you say I'm OK with a shorter life because I want to smoke. That is a perfectly OK statement. Acknowleding tradeoffs is logical denying them is not.

Some people are OK with a shorter life so they jump off a skyscraper. They understand the cause and effect of their actions and still do the action. You should take similar wholeistic picture in your decision making.
