I got curious so I did some digging. From wiki

"On December 5, 2016, Bloomberg Philanthropies became the largest funder of tobacco-control efforts in the developing world. The group announced a $360 million commitment on top of their pre-existing commitment, bringing his total contribution close to $1 billion. This new donation will help expand its previous work, such as getting countries to monitor tobacco use, introduce strong tobacco-control laws, and create mass media campaigns to educate the public about the dangers of tobacco use. The program includes 110 countries, among them China, India, Indonesia and Bangladesh"

So he's still trying to ban stuff, although I don't have a problem with this anti-tobacco effort. A billion dollar investment in banning tobacco is better than a billion more dollars sunk into banning firearms.
