I don't like the smell of Cheetos (which is legal), but I don't fight with people that eats it on a bus/airplane (although it makes me angry).

What I mean is that we should get in an agreement good for everyone, not the common patronizing discourse of non-smokers been right, smokers wrong.

Its a courtesy thing, not a right vs wrong thing. If its a common complaint that my Cheetos smell bad, I'm going to avoid eating them in confined spaces or only around other people eating Cheetos. I'm also not going to go around telling everyone their Cheetos smell bad, but if someone constructively tells me that everyone hates the smell of my Cheetos, I'm going to acknowledge their complaint and be mindful of it when eating Cheetos moving forward.
Exactly! And lot of people think this way about marijuana, too. And a lot more don't think this same way in both situations. How to fix it?
The smell of Cheetos will never have influence on your health. Smoke does.

Eating Cheetos influences your health, and being around smoke influences your health. I don't think smelling Cheetos on your breath, or smelling smoke in someone's clothes does.
