Yes. Cars actively and provably harm other people with their emissions. Yet society tolerates them as a necessary evil (also due to the lobbying from car companies and big oil). Hobbies that harm other people by polluting are not a "necessary evil". They are not necessary. For example, in many cities in the world it's illegal to have a bonfire because it makes people (unwillingly) inhale toxic particulate.
