You know what makes even more sense to me? Being 5m away from any path that leads to an entryway to a building.
If I have to walk up set of ramp or a longer set of stairs that lead to a building and need to walk directly past someone who is puffing away but still outside the 5m range from the actual doorway, something is flawed.
Where I worked, right as the smoking legislation was passed, people would literally sit lined up across the stairs and leave a spot for people to walk up the middle.
