Yes you can sue someone now for blowing smoke on you, especially if in a non smoking area.

Un-vaccinated populations have the following effect on a community;

1. They aid the spread of the disease, being like rats in the bubonic plague, you are 80% more likely to spread covid un-vaccnated than vaccinated.
2. Any spread leads to chance of mutation, since un-vaccinated spread at significantly higher rates they are also a massive threat to the whole system should a strong mutation occur.
3. Un-vaccinated occupy the health system unecessarily. Through choice they clog up the health infrastructure from ambulance call outs to hospital beds and staff.

So yes an un-vaccinated individual is a significantly higher risk to the community than the vaccinated equivalent.

With regard to the law system, in civil court I just have to prove that you were lax in taking precautions to prevent the spread of (insert virus here). If you couldn't even get your self vaccinated to protect yourself and those around you then you are walking the fine line of becoming liable for who you infect. The vaccinated person following public health guidelines will be protected by having followed best available information.

Same way it works on the road, kill someone while following all the rules, no fault. Be found to be speeding, drunk, drugged, or just driving dangerously for the conditions (even within the rules) and a court can find you liable for the death anywhere from manslaughter to paying compensation to the family.

It all comes down to were you complying with public guidance available or were you willingly outside that guidance for personal reasoning.

PS get a dash cam, it's like vaccination for good drivers to avoid getting pinged for other peoples mistakes/judgement.
