I don't smoke myself, but I was wondering: is it considered rude if a person smokes around their non-smoker friends? Is a smoker supposed to ask if the others mind him/her lighting up or something?
As a non-smoker, I'd say it's generally polite to ask if they mind. I don't usually mind myself, except when I was pregnant and if I have my son with me, or if we're inside my house.
I agree that it's polite to ask. (Of course I am also the kind of person that orders non-meat items when I am out with my vegitarian friends because I know often times it makes vegitarians feel sick to see meat so why ruin their meal when I can order something aside from meat? That's just my policy....)
