Um, cigarettes are flipping expensive...it's over $8 here in California for one pack. He has the right to refuse you cigarettes. It sounds like a routine habit of you to be asking him for smokes if you can't afford it which is quite frankly rude on your end to feel entitled to have his when you have none. It's called mooching and it's a big no-no among smokers. And you know what, he doesn't have to leave his smoking area. You can leave if you do not have smokes and he is not giving you any, just leave that area. OR. You can pay him the 70c it costs per cigarette if you're really that desperate.
