I think allowing people to smoke in front of you or near you is just common courtesy. As long as it's not blowing right in your face, is a little smoke really going to hurt you? People interrupt your life all the time for their selfish needs, and I do the same to others.
Sometimes I get drunk and a little too loud and obnoxious. Should no one ever get drunk in the event they annoy someone else? Or should we all just relax and allow people to blow off steam?
Should we never smoke in public because it annoys someone else? Or should we all just relax and allow for someone to sit outside with a cigarette?
Frankly, the stress one feels from getting uptight about people smoking around them is almost certainly worse for them than a breath of secondhand smoke.
