Not everyone does it away from other people. There are many people, like myself, who have asthma and will have an asthma attack from 2nd hand smoke, even if it is outdoors. I cannot even tell you how many times I have had an asthma attack from people smoking right outside an entrance/exit to a building, walking around the boardwalk, etc.

It's not just simply annoying. It is a medical concern for people with lung conditions, such as asthma.
