They're not asking you for your convictions regarding alcohol / tobacco, they're asking you if want some / have a lighter they can use.
- zimpenfish 11y agoBut people don't tend to say "Why don't you have a lighter?" when you say "Sorry, I don't." in the same way that they query why you don't want a drink. I endured this for years; it gets tedious after a while.
- vinceguidry 11y agoThat happens to you? Never happens to me. Either case. At any rate, you can answer why when they ask you why.
