To the smoker it's not a big deal because they're surrounded by smoke whether they're inside or outside.
Plus, historically, until relatively recently, smoking was so common and accepted and expected that it just wasn't a big deal. I think this mindset still relates to most present-day smokers.
Kind of. I grew up in a family where everyone smoked (in a time when around 70% of adults smoked)... I think I started at 15 in self-defense, lol.
Still, when we'd get together and eat or play cards or something, sometimes the smoke would get so thick that even the heaviest smokers were saying "Dang, open a window somebody..."
