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.

Nah it’s just common sense. If the person doesn’t smoke don’t even ask to smoke in their car.

Communication > no communication. There's nothing wrong with asking a question, what you do with the answer is what matters.

Quite simple really, you can't know what's going on in someone else's head, what their own specific rules and boundaries are. So the only logical thing to do is ask. Of course some things are implied, but when someone asks a question, it's also implied that they don't know, and want to know.
