Possibly.
If I were in a park and there was lots of space around and I was sitting on a bench designated as a smoking area then I would say their like or dislike would be none of my concern.

Agreed.

Or, if I was not aware they didn't like it then again, how would I know?

You could ask, or barring that, just assume that they don't. Like 75% of people are non-smokers; it would be a pretty safe bet.

I might have lost something in the relating of your story, but did you mention to the gentlemen that you did not appreciate his smoking in an area not designated for such? |
I would have, but by the time I got into the bathroom, he had already gone and only his smoke was left...
But to answer your question in a more general sense, there have been plenty of times where I've politely asked people smoking in non-smoking areas to stop. |
