I agree that people should be considerate enough not to light up in a crowd, particularly when the odds were that the gentleman in question knew the rules very well. However unloading on him before getting up to leave probably didn't do much good. Perhaps a friendly reminder that he was doing something against the rules, coupled with a comment that you find cigar smoke annoying, may have been enough to settle the issue.

Different people have different tolerances to air pollution or smoke or exhaust in the air. Personally, I would walk away from an area in which some clown was smoking a cigar. To me, that would especially bother me more than most people. Actually, I even smell and am disgusted by even an older gasoline Golf Carts when they pass by in the street in front of my house if the wind is from the street to me. And yes, I am more sensitive to that than most. I even am bothered by LOUD noise - like I even mute the louder TV commercials. And I wish that I could push a MUTE button on some of the LOUD talking men and women at the swimming pool. And a lot of the older Golf Carts should have been built with more advanced mufflers like the newer Yamaha Quiet Tech.
........And I will admit that I WISH that I had a higher tolerance for such air and noise pollutants.
