I don't see it as particulalry rude as it was in the therapist's domain rather than a nuetral zone or a place belonging to the client. but I also don't see it as something a client has to endure if they don't want to.

I dont see it completely as a therapists "domein". The patient needs te feel comfortable and safe and not feeling threatened or provoced. At least I would have asked do you mind if I smoke a vapor.
I dont know for which reason photogirl is going to this therapist. If there are avoidance or other assertiveness issues, then my paranoid thought might be right and he is testing if you can be assertive and express what you feel about his behavior.

Dx: Mix anhedonia with Bipolar II. Add some insomnia and chronic stress. Season with paroxetine and a pinch of ADD. Stir well to induce a couple of hypo/manic episodes. After the excess of energy is gone, remove the Paroxetine and serve chilled with some C-PTSD and GAD. Ready is your MDD.
Mx: To clean up the mess use lamotrigine, risperidon, mirtazapine and sertraline. Let it soak in for a while but keep a close eye on it. Meanwhile enjoy your desert of oxazepam/temazepam prn.
