While I agree with you in principle, there are problems with your argument.
If you are following closely enough to get second hand smoke, then you are getting worse from engine exhaust.
More importantly, in order to pass a smoker's cart going 20, you would have to ILLEGALLY modify your cart to go faster, and at least 23-24 to make passing effective before a car comes up on you before you can get back in the cart lane. And of course, you get even more CAR exhaust. Better off dropping back 50 feet and you won't be bothered.
