The economic and social cost of taking children away from parents who smoke would eclipse any societal benefit of reduced second hand smoke exposure. There would simply not be enough suitable foster carers available for the children (especially older ones); and the resultant upsurge in deliquency, criminality, homelessness and substance abuse amongst those taken away from their parents would prove difficult and costly to contain. The net medical benefits would also probably be outweighed by the increase in psychiatric disorders and substance abuse.

Then, of course, there's the problem that if you take the children of smokers into care you're morally bound to also take children who are fed more sugar than is medically recommended. Type II diabetes is, after all, generally a bigger medical problem than passive smoking.

Ditto alcoholics. And video game addicts, and people with serious psychiatric conditions and life-threatening disabilities, owners of hunting rifles, swimming pools, power tools or large dogs, people who work with hazardous materials, police detectives, licensed drivers...hell, anyone who could conceivably do or own something or suffer from a condition that might possibly result in harm befalling their children, directly or indirectly. Which is to say, everybody.
