The one difference with those examples is smoking, obesity and skin cancer are not contagious; although some may argue second hand smoke so there's that. The whole foundation of vaccines and public health is to protect both the individual and the public.

Your argument sounds akin to if crime gets out of control in a municipality it is appropriate to call in the military. In the first instance, protecting civilian property is the responsibility of the civilian authorities. As in past conflicts, establish a 'home guard' or something like that...
