Does the phrasing of the sentence "I do not smoke in public places" contradict Islamic law, and is there no sin in distributing a paper with this text based on the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils?

The scholars have concluded that smoking is forbidden, and there is no difference whether it is in public or private places. However, smoking in public places carries a greater sin due to the harm it inflicts upon people, as passive smoking has severe detrimental effects. If evils cannot be entirely eliminated, then reducing them is a legitimate objective in Islamic law. Therefore, there is no harm in distributing posters that prohibit smoking in public places, and this should not be understood as an encouragement to smoke in private places, as everyone is aware of its harms in all circumstances.
