If it has to so with someone that I love and care about, I care. However, I'm not going to bug them or make them feel bad. I will mention it a few time, like a guy I dated was a smoker and I would say, You shouldn't smoke and this is way ....... or my grandmother (diabetic) bought candy and I would tell her that she shouldn't eat that because ...... . I will only mention it a few times and give my reason why, but I don't want the person I love and care about to feel bad about who they are. I tend to accept people for the good and bad (depending on what the bad is) and would never want them to feel horrible about their life choices.

I've asked him how he feels about it and if he hated it. He just says "it's your perogative".
But he knows I'm not comfortable doing it around his family and he announced to a couple of them that I was a closet smoker. Told me to just bring it out in the open. I wouldn't. Told him I wasn't comfortable with it.click to expand

Sorry, I'm still learning how to post on this forum and I guess there's no edit button -.-. He loves you and wants you to be honest with your choices. If you're a smoker, smoke. Don't hide, be who you are. He makes a joke out of it because he wants you to feel comfortable and assured that no one is judging you. We all have our vices and from what it sounds like, he accepts you for the good and the bad, that's why he says, "It's your prerogative".click to expand

I suppose there is always the effects second hand smoke have one others. If I was the smoker and I knew I was around people who didn't smoke, I'd try to not smoke around them unless they didn't mind. Even if they didn't mind I'd try not to smoke around them.
Second hand smoke may or may not be as big a deal as people make it out to be but I don't want to be the cause of someone else's health detriment.

This is actually what I do. I never smoke around crowded public places. I mean personally I have zero fucks about me smoking but the other people might not want a dose of lung cancer.
I think this might be taking the "Being true to yourself" aqua mentality too far. It's too dependent on the Aqua's core principles and they differ quite drastically. He's with you after all so by now he must have a good image of what your flaws are. If something needs to be raised, I'd expect an Aqua with Cappy bits to do just that.
If I'm by myself - I am whoever I want to be. If I'm with my partner then I'd have her to consider. As much as I don't want to believe public image exists, it does. In this case seems like you've already had this discussion, if you feel uncomfortable smoking in front of them then just don't do it. "We" Aquas probably won't think any less or fake of you for wanting to do that.
I lump that in with the privacy hence "your prerogative".click to expand

I don't have much Capricorn in me but just seems like you showing respect for them in that no matter what they think of smoking would make the biggest impression in my opinion. You know not trying hide the fact that you do just that you respect them and their decision not to smoke as well. Respect goes a long ways in this world 🙂

I know aquarians stereotypically don't care what other people think, but I do and this is one difference between the two of us. I do care what people/family/friends think about me, especially his family. He has venus in capricorn, so I am wondering if that make would make him more inclined to care about public/family/friends assessment of him or his girlfriend? Or would his aquarius nature over rule and just not care? You know, the be who you are and be yourself, screw other people's opinion attitude.
I know you guys can't answer for him, but I just wanted to get an aquarius take on the subject. Especially anyone with either aqua sun/cap venus or aqua sun/virgo moon.
For example, bad habits and public opinion of those habits.
