I'm rather fond of Fran Lebowitz's take on the subject:

"I understand, of course, that many people find smoking objectionable.
That is their right. I would, I assure you, be the very last to
criticize the annoyed. I myself find many -- even most -- things
objectionable. Being offended is the natural consequence of leaving
one's home. I do not like aftershave lotion, adults who roller-skate,
children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. I do not,
however, go around enacting legislation and putting up signs. In private
I avoid such people; in public they have the run of the place. I stay at
home as much as possible, and so should they. When it is necessary,
however, to go out of the house, they must be prepared, as I am, to deal
with the unpleasant personal habits of others. That is what "public"
means."

You didn't. There are just some people who look for opportunities to
practice indignation every chance they get. I'll also bet their Delete
key is shiny and new-looking...mine, the letters are rubbing off.

I thought it quite amusing.
