But I'm a non-smoker and I hate the smell of cigarette smoke. And I don't have a choice when I have to run the gauntlet of smokers outside many commercial buildings these days.

Again, not apologizing for their rudeness, but I do ask all smokers to be aware that their smoke spreads quite a bit.
Well, it's better to have smokers outside than in the buildings smoking up the whole place.

If you live in a populated environment, I think it's a bit unreasonable to expect (wish) smokers to just disappear off the face of the earth. I used to smoke myself, for about 20 years in fact and gave up about 5 years ago. I don't like the smell of cigarette smoke at all now. In fact it makes me feel sick, but I don't think I have the right to tell others where to go with their smoke. Also, I'm not running around telling everyone to stop driving cars because the exhaust fumes stink (although I think they do).
