Regardless of any possible risks to health, myself and plenty of

annoying than waiting on a station platform and someone lighting up.

I can think of many things that are more annoying. For example, the
habitual overuse of needless hyperbole that everyone does these days.
But I agree it is a nuisance.

The thing that used to irritate me most was that on bright, breezy days you
would find the non-smokers confined to the platform, whilst the waiting
shelters were infested by the smokers, making them unusable by the majority.
It always seemed bizarre since, in the weather conditions, smoke outside
would quickly dissipate and cause very little inconvenience to anyone
(unless it was a particularly packed platform) - keeping everyone happy.
