Here’s your daily dose of fallacies: this is a false dichotomy.

The problem is that they get cancer and then run to the government for help.

100%. Big reason why cigarettes should be banned as well. You can say people are allowed to make their own choices, but it’s the healthcare system that ends up overloaded. Other people are dying for their choices because they take up a bed in the cancer ward 20 years earlier then they should.
Can’t imagine them banning bacon though.

They’re certainly not dying ‘happy’.

And enjoy paying for their healthcare. It’s good value for the country to prevent people doing entirely optional things that will burden the health service in the long run.

Choice is an illusion.

You can absolutely make things that both taste good and also don’t cause cancer. This isn’t like “being vegan will extend your lifespan so everyone has to be vegan” type of thing, it is very directly a specific preservative they chose to put in that is straight-up killing people.

So is bacon even the problem, or just an ingredient they are often using in processing it?

This was Taliban 1.0 drugs policy. “Drugs are forbidden, unless they are being sold to the infidel.”
Why not?
