My guesses are: Some people just like to tell other people what to do, some like to feel superior to others, some people really are that sensitive to smoke, and it kind of conflicts with the idea of a "healthy day out with the family" vibe.
Besides, this is the US, not Paris. We don't smoke in the airports and restaurants here.
