So no, they don't have to do it at home just because YOU don't like it/dislike the smell/don't do it. They can do it outside, in the trees, in the port a potty, so long as it is legal to do it there.
ETA: I guess I'm trying to say, tough luck that it bothers you if they do it while you go past them. However, you're not the legislator nor can you do much about it besides walk away. Just because you want them to do it in their home does not mean they have to. They have a right to be there too.

I feel the same way about alcoholic products.
People have to be responsible...
They have the right to drink but they have to be responsible for any actions incurred by their drinking.
If marijuana becomes legal I am sure that axiom will stand as well.
