at first my dad would smoke in our house, but my mother, myself and my brother HATE smoke... so he has started to smoke outside now, but still, he has a RUDE friend who comes over and just lights up in the house like its his house, even though he knows we dont like it..

Only in the bar and only with the super-duper air cleaner running. For parties the smokers are downstairs and the nons are upstairs with the food. So it's a little smoky the next day- oh well, I mop and clean up and it's gone.
If there are children in the house, no smoking. Everyone goes outside.
I sometimes allow it (just one or two) with the windows open, I clean my house regularly and my furnishings are leather and wood with very little upholstery, no carpet. Smoke smells have nowhere to linger and Febreeze does well for the drapes.
It's not really a problem for me- I just don't like the idea of a LOT of smoking in the house.

No and no.
OK, one time when I moved into my first apartment I allowed my mom and aunts to smoke only because they'd just helped me move into a place 400 miles from home. But after about 3 cigarettes, I asked them to at least synchronize their smoking because as one of them put out their cig, another would light up, and so on so that there was continuous smoking.
Even when my husband and I moved the last time and my mom and 1 aunt helped us clean the place we were moving into, which was empty, I wouldn't let them smoke. Seemed to defeat the purpose of cleaning all of that muck off the walls to have them sit in it smoking.

NO!!! I have two young children, both under 2. I don't allow it even near me. I live in a state that doesn't allow smoking in resturants, or public places, so I'm hardly ever around it, which I think is good.
It's also against my religion to smoke, so anyone that comes over is told that we don't smoke and would ask the same of them. We are polite about it, but we still won't let them smoke with us around.

No, I would not allow smoking in my home.
I have never smoked, but I feel that I've "paid my dues" as far as how much secondhand smoke I've breathed already. Knowing what we know now about how it is possible to get cancer from secondhand smoke, I don't think it's rude to request that smokers keep it outside.
In addition, it stinks up the place and gets the walls sooty and stuff.

Not in the house, not in the car. I have asthma. Smoking in an enclosed area can send me right to the Emergency Room. I grew up with a dad who smoked and he sent me there a few times. Now that I'm older my lungs are scarred from all the asthma attacks and I don't have full lung capacity. I can't do anything about it in public or in someone else's home, but not in mine.

No, never. I ask my guests to go outside to the back porch to smoke. Everyone I know now knows me well enough not to even light up around me. I can't stand the smell, it permeates everything and stains the walls and such. Besides, I don't want to breathe that in. . .
I used to have a sign in my house that said, "If you are found smoking in this house, we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate measures" and it had a picture of a guy getting a bucket of water thrown at him!
