Phang's already said this, but to reitirate : something does have to be an extreme to warrant use of the law in this way. You are basically ultimately warranting the use of violence (i.e. if someone smokes openly then the police if called will have to use force to get them to stop if they have to) which means it can't just be you feeling uncomfortable generally. Lots of people might be uncomfortable with gays holding hands, etc - we don't (or shouldn't) have laws against that.
