    If I was in a non-smokers house/car I would actually insist that I go outside/wait until we've stopped somewhere. Anything else is unfair because, let's face it, smoke smells fcuking terrible.

    My house/car, well, that's up to me. Sometimes I won't smoke in either for a few days to air them out a bit but that's rarer during the winter. My car was smoke-free until I developed road rage (passive road rage - I take it out on my lungs).

    I suppose if there was a grey area where it was a smoker's house but it was predominantly non-smokers, house-owners call. Student accommodation is also tricky but I'd leave it up to the people who live there.

    Drunk enough to be "merry" but not enough to be a prick?

    in which case i'd insist on going outside, forget why i was outside and wander back in smoking!!

    Plus when you're about to feel guilty fr sparking up in a "non-smakers" house, remind them that its your fags they'll be robbing at 2 in the morning!!

    Had a thread on this in the smoking forum a while back. i don't smoke anymore but I would like to have pictured myself as a considerate smoker, but there were times when it was like "meh, **** it".

    - I always smoked at least 10 ft away from someone I suspect as a non-smoker (e.g. at a bus stop)
    - I never stood directly outside door ways
    - If I was the only smoker in the room and rules allow me to smoke, id still go outside.

    However
    - I did often throw butt's on the ground if there is no bin/tray within 10-15ft and wouldn't really care either
    - I always had a cigarette before a show (cinema etc.), which means the poor bugger sitting next to me has to put up with the smell. I did ask my mates did it bother them and they are all completely fine with it
    - I did drag my mates toward the outdoor seating area when going to a cafe (Again, they didnt mind).
