Do: anti-smoking campaign
(tobacco is medicinal for ~20% of the population)
Don't: anti-noise pollution campaign
(noise is medicinal for <0% of the population)
Never forget ambulances are loud enough to permanently damage your hearing in under a second. This is not some weird coincidence, it is exactly what you should be expecting.

Public health is more about legitimising moral panics.
Great example : Tipper Gore.
One of her great personal causes was censorship of bad words.
But she was also a public health advisor. (not that she was wrong in the latter - very strong advocate for mental health awareness).
But you see.. the connection between morality and public health.
It's the public good. The public interest. The HEALTH of the people!!!
