From my observations I'd have to agree that yes, you are overstating things. I don't recall seeing anyone smoking on the ramp and around the aircraft. If I had I would have asked them to put it out or go outside the fence. I would hope anyone else would respond the same, in a polite manner, of course. There are picnic table outside the FBO where people set and smoke but I think that is the last spot in the county they are allowed to smoke. :-) Just avoid that area and everyone will be happy.
