I don’t get the downvote, it’s in fact an interesting question. However, sorry, I’m keeping it unpopular: healthy or not (research has shown it has antimicrobial effects), it’s still an annoyance for everyone else.
I can walk around with a water pistol filled with vitamin water, shooting people in the face. Just because it contains vitamins (IT’S GOT ELECTROLYTES!) it doesn’t magically make it non-annoying.

I have literally never met anyone who was annoyed by the smoke from smoking ceremonies. I’ve seen headlines in the news about racist people angry that smoking ceremonies were held at football games, but that was because the white people objected to the political meaning of the ceremony. Smoking ceremonies are held at special events, advertised ahead of time, and I’ve never seen the smoke go beyond the boundaries of the event to a visible degree. I’ve attended and been blessed at two smoking ceremonies, and they were both really positive experiences.
