>They could just not smoke, or smoke far away from the building where it won’t bother anyone.

In the built up area I live in, you'd really struggle to find anywhere to smoke that doesn't risk bothering someone. That's city life.

> I don’t think they’d like it if I left a bucket of rotting fish on my balcony.

Yeah, they'd shut the window.

> I don’t know, I’m not the one smoking. That’s their problem to solve.

It’s your problem not theirs. It bothers you, not them. They probably don’t even know it bothers you. Are you really surrounded by smokers and cannot open a window all day and night? Dude, let me tell you… you’re making your own life difficult. There are full buildings where smoking is forbidden. Make your own life easy, don’t harass others with your truths. If you don’t care why do you expect others to care.

> I don’t think they’d like it if I left a bucket of rotting fish on my balcony.

Are you comparing a cigarette smoke to full infestation?
