Well, underaged smoking is still a crime since there is a law prohibiting it, and therefore Kago has to be punished. Otherwise underaged people all over Japan are going to be even more confident that they can get away with it than they already are. It's sad but necessary, because she is after all in the public eye.
But it's true that underaged smoking is a really big problem around the world, and there is a need to tackle it more seriously. I'm happy that H!P is taking an appropriate stance (firing her would have been bad because after all she is only 18 and most probably wouldn't have been able to cope with the disappointment) on this issue.
Even though she's committed such a mistake, I hope that she'll be able to bounce back and put this issue behind her. She's been punished, now it's time for her to learn from it and move on.
