I have to agree with both of you. I dont smoke in the house or on my children and don't smoke in front of my partner either. I nevertheless, want it to be my decision when i stop and need him to accept me either way. I just worry when i feel the need to keep secrets like this. As a child, I was always scared to speak the truth, and admittantly am not a child anymore, yet still carry the same fears. I wouldn't say my present relationship has a control issue, but past ones certainly have and i believe this is a pattern of mine to choose such men. I would call my partner bossy at times and he likes to get his own way, but i also know that he would accept any final decision i make.
