Ujhhhhh.... Huh.

I dislike smoking and have physically fought someone for intentionally and repeatedly blowing smoke in my face, but I don't think I'd have quite this reaction to someone asking me to buy them a pack.

I'd just say "nah I'm not helping you kill yourself" and leave it at that. If that causes a problem with our friendship, then they value their cigarettes and a moment of pleasure over our friendship and they aren't worth the time.

I'm with you in the "I helped bail someone out" though, not sure how I'd feel if someone asked me to help with that.
