"If I find out you've smoked, Ill throw you out"

What would you do if your DH told you that if he found out you'd been smoking, he'd throw you out?

Or if when you come home from a smokers house, he's sniffing you and makes a massive fuss over it and starts to imply that you've probably had a couple yourself and if he found out you had, he'd go beserk?

What would you do?

I had massive issues about XH smoking. It wasn't so much the smoke itself though, as the lying. I certainly didn't need to sniff at him like some bloody police dog - he'd walk in surrounded by a huge fog of smoke from those horrid little cigars - but he would try to tell me I'd imagined it, which was incredibly insulting. He'd swear he'd given it up (again), then I'd find a new packet in the car, stubs all over the garage floor etc. I'd say look, I realise how hard it is to give up smoking, I can accept you feel the need sometimes as long as you don't do it indoors, but don't keep swearing to me you've given up when you so plainly haven't, because dishonesty is a far bigger deal than a mere fag. Oh, and sometimes he'd say it was my fault he "had" to go back on them because I'd been nagging (total lie). He'd also claim I was a hypocrite because my father, sister and brother smoked. I said they never promised me they wouldn't...

Even now, when I see someone smoking I start to feel as if I was watching them shoplift or something, and have to remind myself that it's legal and none of my business.

I'd tell him to get stuffed. I can understand that if you were smoking, he would have issues with it in the house, car or around the DC etc. But from the sounds of it, you are not smoking and he is simply being a controlling tit.
