its ok to agree to disagree woth people, And.
its also ok to not engage with them if they want to start acting high and mighty.

i just looked at his cigarette.

Thanks for the laugh first thing this morning tomsteve!!
I think all has been said already that I would say.
Your recovery is about you, Your friend should worry about their own recovery only.
But, people can be well intentioned or they can be self-righteous, you never know where they are at.
You're allowed to be upset as much as you're allowed to let your friend's opinion roll off your back.
If you value your friendship enough, it may be worth it to you to give them the benefit of the doubt. If your bond and boundaries are strong enough, maybe if it gets brought up again a quick, "thanks for your opinion, but I guess we can agree to disagree. I am comfortable with my recovery, thank you for your concern though." Or some such.
I think asserting something like this might even be helpful to your friend. A good reminder, we stay on our own side of the street and keep it clean, we respect boundaries and people. And maybe they can reevaluate how strong they feel in their own recovery if they feel a need to direct you in yours.
Don't be hard on yourself
Keep your eyes on the prize and work what works best for you.
