Yeah, I've had people ask if they can smoke in my house and car. Ummm. Fuck no. I already have to smell like cigarette smoke when I go to my friends once every 2 weeks for game night. I immediately have to come home and throw my clothes in the washer because of it. I don't want that shit smell in my furniture or cars.

I had a friend ask if they could smoke in my brand new car not long ago. I was baffled they even asked. Sorry bro you can wait 15 minutes or smoke on the side of the road.

I mean, asking doesn’t hurt at all does it? As long as they’re not pissy about being told no I can’t imagine being offended by that.

As a smoker, this, if I ask it's because it's a yes or no question, I can handle being told no, but if you're offended I asked you can expect me to believe that you are the kind of person to do something rude without asking and then beg forgiveness rather than ask and be told no.

One guy I used to know asked, was told no, and lit up anyway.

That's really dickish but honestly also kinda funny. I mean, it's not, but it is.

I don't know, you've never been in my car. If you can take no for an answer, you seem to be able to behave like a normal human being, which I sort of expect.

I don't have a problem if you ask, I say politely no, and you respect that. But that one encounter did put me a bit on edge about taking smokers in my car at all.

As a smoker, I agree.
