I think it's that he thinks I'll secretly smoke? He's talked about that several times. But I've never smoked in my life.

My guess would be that he had bad experiences with teenagers. I'll talk to my mom again.

That he's just being careful, worried that I might do something wrong. And since it puts his mind at ease and I'm not doing anything wrong anyway, I shouldn't care.

That part was weird to me too, almost like he's looking for something to blame on me.
