The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What is an effective and polite way to ask someone to not smoke in my presence?
That's a good idea. But what if the person gets defensive or refuses to stop smoking?
In that case, it's important to remain calm and respectful. You could try explaining that smoking is harmful to your health and you'd rather not be exposed to it. If that doesn't work, you may need to remove yourself from the situation or find a way to compromise.
