Smoking in public is now a legal offence and if you have some really close smoking buddies, you might have been on your way to prison a couple of times every week. The biggest problem is that your buddies do not realise that these annoying smoker habits affect other people. Passive smoking is not something to joke about; it causes serious health problems.

Smoking itself is a serious health hazard. But try saying that to your smoker friends and you will automatically get a trailer show into the most annoying things that smokers do. In fact, it is very hard to be a non-smoker when you are around smokers. First of all; they are already doing you enough damage by making you a passive smoker and then they try to pull you on board by influencing you to smoke.

Here are some of the most annoying things that smokers do to their non-smoker friends or colleagues.

Drag you along for smoke breaks

Your smoker friends will invariably drag you for smoke breaks at work where you have nothing to do but stand and passively breathe in some poisonous smoke. And waste your time when you are better occupied doing something else.

Insist they are planning to quit

Any smoker has this annoying habit of telling you how hard he or she is trying to quit and they just can't give it up. It is annoying because you already know that they have no plans to quit.

Ask you to borrow a lighter

Your smoker friend or co-worker will always ask you for 'light' and then come to the divine realisation, 'oh, you don't smoke'. Do you really have any reason to carry a lighter around with you?

Snap at you and blame it on nicotine drags

Women often use their PMS as an excuse to snap at their partner or friends. Smokers do the same thing when they are pretending to quit. They just snap at you and say how they 'badly needed a smoke' at that time.

Ask you for chewing gum or mint

Why will you be carrying chewing gum when they are the one who stink of tobacco all the time? And why on earth should you share your after-lunch mint with them when they cannot have the sense to carry their own?

Pose with cocked cigarettes

Clint Eastwood would look kinda cool with the cocked cigar in his mouth . But your buddies are obviously not 'Clint Eastwood' and they look really wannabe by posing with cigarettes.

Smoke in non-smoking areas and get you into trouble

You smoker friends will always smoke in the worst possible places like in front of hospitals or in pubs and get you thrown out. It is one of the most annoying things smokers do in public places!

How can you drink without smoking?

If you are sharing a drink with your smoker friends, they will give you a headache by smoking persistently. And then, they will give you this unreal look and say 'what is point of drinking if you don't smoke'? Well, may be I love my lungs a little more than my liver, but you love neither!

Drop cigarette ash every where

Cigarette ash is not only dirty but it singes throw fabric easily. If you hang out with smokers, your scarfs, dupattas and stoles will always have tiny holes in them burned by cigarette smoke.

Smoke in your car

You just spent some cash getting your car cleaned and spruced up with some fragrance. Now here comes your friend and ruins it all by lighting a cigarette in your car.
