I agree - as a medical professional, I'm all in favor of getting people to quit, but the change here seems a little draconian. In particular, the loss of balconies to smoke on seems to be guaranteed to drive people away. Admittedly, because of recent events such as the fire on the Star Princess which was likely caused by a cigarette thrown overboard, it was a matter of time before all cruise lines barred people smoking on their balconies ... but still ....
My sympathies for those of you affected.
