It makes it impossible to go in or out without getting smoke on you.This is neurosis writ large.
Why do you not smell like gasoline when you walk in traffic?
Why do you not smell like fish when you go to the market?
Are you suggesting now that transferring an unwanted odor is a crime? If I hate your perfume am I entitled to have you arrested?

You both make analogies with regard to cars and cigarettes and that's not a bad thing to do but there are differences.
One difference is that vehicles are essential for the modern economy and needs to be protected in a way that drug use does not not.
Vehicles are also useful for traveling in public whereas smoking can be done in private. Nictotine addicts can even use nicotine in public if they will just choose a format that doesn't hurt other people.
I am not anti-smoking. But like sex and drink and pot and every other personal indulgence it should not be inflicted on nonconsenting people.
