I know what you guys mean. I work at an Extended Stay where people stay for long periods of time. There is this guest that whenever he sees me he feels the need to tell me to quit smoking.
"Have you had a cigarette today, hmmm??"
And when he catches me outside smoking I get the 3rd degree.
HELLO you dont know me!! What right do you have to tell me that??! Seriously. Its not just him, several guest have done that. Why do perfect strangers feel that they can tell you not to smoke. "Its bad for you. It will kill you." Do they think we are so stupid that we dont know its bad?? It makes me want to smoke more when they tell me that. ha ha

My boyfriend/ex/fiancee (we are in a weird place right now LOL ) hates me smoking and even told me that if I continue he would not marry me, but he wont listen to my request of not living with his parent (he's japanese so its traditional). WTF??
This had turned into a "Talking with a NON-smoker" thread . . .

That ranks, for me, as rude as a stranger coming up and touching your belly when you are pregnant. The things that go through your head are far from polite and well... it's lucky they get a smile and not the finger! Makes you wonder if they truly think their **** doesn't stink.

I feel the same. I get the 3rd degree and don't like it .
