Yeah, freedom but only to only make the correct choices is just a tyranny that thinks itself benevolent. I don't like cigarettes but I oppose their full ban, just amoratize the long term cost to the government of that pack and slap it on as a tax. A call to prayer for a religion we don't practice has no cost to society and therefore while it may be annoying it's none of our businesses unless it becomes so disruptive it actually hinders others (like say, if it were every 10 minutes and so loud it can't be spoken over).
