Almost fight with someone 2x my size in Bicep cuz of smoking

Socially awkward me went out to meet people at a restaurant yesterday. They pick outdoor seating.

At one point, some dude with exploding biceps and an invisible earpiece(think secret agent) walks over right before the parking area of the shop and starts smoking away...around 4 steps distance from my table

The 2nd hand smoke blew into my face.

So I walked over to him...told him to move a bit further, but the smoke made me dizzy.

I pat him a bit and tell him to please move further a bit in blurry speech and haze.

When I sat back down, the dude was staring at me like he wanna kill someone, lashed out at me, saying I touched him and wanna touch me back. (finish his smoke on the spot without moving an inch)

After awhile dude sat down at his table of secret agents crew and keep staring at me.

I duno what got to me I just go over and demand why he so mad when im the one suffering from his 2nd hand smoke.

Talk got quite heated, suddenly the light pat became "i pushed him" and his buddy backed him up saying he know the law and anywhere outside the premise line is consider ok for smoking. and I cannot touch ppl cuz they can sue me.

My table ppl helped by talking to their crew so that both them and me cool down abit and shook hand after some more.

I can't get over this, very annoyed for 2 days++

What do y'all do instead?

>Five-foot way and within three meters from the distance of the building lineAnalysis

For several categories of places, the regulation prohibits smoking inside the “building,” which includes “the five-foot way and within three meters from the distance of the building line, and also includes the area covered by any additional permanent roof that is connected to the main building.” These specified places include: public transportation terminals; Parliament of Malaysia; stadiums, fitness centers, and gymnasiums; places used for religious purposes; and places of work.
