In the eyes of many Westerners, Chinese are the best hosts(主人) but the worst guests in the world. This is probably because the guest-host relationship in China is different from(A) in some Western countries.
In China, guests are almost like gods.(B)无论什么时候我拜访一个中国家庭,他们都会以友好的方式招待我。 There is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the West, things are different. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

So when I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want her to stop them directly.

You could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if you get a “no”. In our culture, it’s not considered rude at all.
In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. But if Western hosts invite you to their house,(D)try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
