Cromwell

He just looks so sweet
I'll be right back. Just going to masturbate to young cromwell

No, he in particular did not. He was, in terms of political action, a religious moderate, advocating for a degree of toleration. However, he himself was a puritan who believed in godly reformation. When he appointed the Major-Generals to govern the country, therefore, he allowed them to pursue such bans. He himself did not act in support of banning christmas or anything of the like.

Didn't he secretly partake in activities that were made illegal like smoking?

To a certain extent.
This is stretching my memory somewhat, but the laughing is mere libel, the others are at least partly true.
First of all, one should remember that Cromwell was responsible for broad policy, whilst the Major-Generals implemented the policies. There was a huge difference between regions as some MGs believed restricting liberties would lead to an insurrection, others let their religion lead the way.
The main thrust of many of the puritanical laws were practical measures in Christian clothing. Royalist agitators used racing events, bear baiting and taverns to conduct meetings andplot against the protectorate. The Protectorate was chronically short of resources, and to monitor every social event was impossible. It was much easier to slap down blanket bans, which also reassured the Independent evangelists in London.

The only wrong thing he did was appointing Richard to succeed him. Anybody else and the Protectorate would have survived
