I think the kids (who don’t smoke etc.) simply say, heh dude (or whatever) I don’t mind what you do but this is a no smoking dorm and I don’t want you smoking in OUR room and by the way, keep your stuff somewhere else because I don’t want to get popped because you are doing something illegal. I’m not going to narc if you are chill about things but someone else might…or something like that. By the time kids are 18 they ought to be able to put their opinion out there…I agree with the poster who suggests if they can’t stand up for themselves they might not be ready to be in a residential setting. This is far better advice than a family friend who told my oldest son at this high school graduation party (and i’m paraphrasing slightly to keep it clean) “If your roommate is a jerk punch him in the gut and let him know who is boss.”

And yes, it is wrong for you to read other people’s e-mails.
