People who smoke are not assholes. I smoked cigarettes for 6 years. It's the people who have no consideration for non-smokers, and smoke their cigarettes in places where non-smokers MUST be exposed to it -- like right in front of a door to a public building. How am I supposed to enter the building without breathing the smoke and negatively affecting my health?
If smoking pot were legal, I would approach it in the same manner. People need to respect the rights of others to be healthy.
As for the other things you mentioned, they do not adversely affect people's health. They are just inconveniences. You can't very well justify making a law against something because it is inconvenient. You can, however, justify making a law against something for health concerns -- like smoking in public.
