Second hand smoke is only damaging in large quantities, walking by someone in a park will NOT have an effect. There's cilia in your lungs that work on protecting them from those kinds of things. The only people I worry about are the kids who have parents who sit in the living room and smoke a pack a day, or something like that. And the second-hand smoke as an annoyance when you're walking behind someone or something? Come on, there's little annoyances everywhere, if we were to outlaw everything that annoyed a few people, we'd have nothing left. There's a difference between annoying and fatal.

I have an allergies to many things, including cigarette smoke. It's not annoying. It's discomforting.
