    tell her it bothers you. most sokers know it bothers alot of people. shes your friend, she wont get offended i promise.

    I have a good one – say you have asthma. If she says since when then say you had a check up for it and got diagnosed with it.

  • Soapy says:

    Yes, just let her know that it would mean a lot to you if she didn’t smoke around you, and you aren’t trying to be rude. If it bothers you that much I’m sure your friend wouldn’t mind.

    Well if its her car, you dont really have the right to ask her not to smoke, because it is hers after all, same goes for her house, but if yer out or at your place all you have to do is be like “*cough* do you mind not smokn around me as much, its just my chest is starting to get a bit caught up” .xxxxx

  • Alyssa says:

    if you are really good friends with her, just tell her how you feel, say stuffs like `i hope you understand`. if she`s a really good friend, then she`ll not continue to smoke around you. good luck!

    Just roll the window down and say its hard to breath trust me she will get the message.

  • Jude says:

    I think you should say it in the nicest way and mean it. I hate smokers too! LOL

  • shamroxx2009 says:

    Tell her you think you have reactive airways because whenever youre around smoking your lungs tighten up and you have trouble breathing and it freaks you out. She’ll probably do it anyway since most smokers are selfish in my experience but its worth a shot!

    Punch them in the nose when she light up…

    That was a joke…

    Tell them that you are going to leave at the net light when she smokes around you, I have found that wearing a bandanna over the mouth and nose helps.

    dude, when my friends do that I just go “dude, wtf?” and he is gonna be like “what?” and Imma be like, “why you smokin bro?” and he is like “whatever dude!” and I’ll be like “put it out yo! I dont want to inhale your smoke, thats gay! It already went inside you through your mouth then its going to my lungs, gay as hell” and he will say “douchebag” then he USUALLY puts it out.

    I dont know about girls though, but with dudes no hard feelings (so to speak, that was kinda gay “hard feelings” lmao)

  • BAMit'sSam says:

    Just say, “Do you think you could smoke less around me? It kind of burns my nose.” Nicely.

  • TaRRRRZANNN says:

    put down the sin sticks.

  • helpless says:

    tell the truth and say you don’t feel comfortable with her smoking around you

    then maybe if she’s a true friend she’ll understand

    or you could start walking home

    or tell her the bad facts about smoking then maybe she’ll quit

    hope that helps ^__^

  • maracacaca says:

    tell her you don’t want to ride in her car because it smells bad and you don’t like the smell of cigarette smoke. or when you see the smoke coming towards you go NOOOOOO AHHHHH and make her feel uncomfortable

    if she continues to do it then stop being her friend

  • K2009 says:

    I would say the smoke hurts your head. And have her at least roll her window down so the draft pulls the smoke out towards her.

  • Fitzsy says:

    She’s your friend so she’ll understand.
    So say it straight up and tell her you don’t accept her smoking around her.
