I think I know why -den is usually used before neferet...
neferet in Arabic doesn't literally means hate, it means getting away "from" someone or something you dislike
we also in Arabic say " neferet mn ...." mn=from
so I think this word has an Arabic root :)

It's interesting that Turks use present continuous to ask whether you smoke. "Do you smoke?" sounds like a question that could be asked in the aorist, since it is timeless, at least the way an American would think of this. But I guess Turks are almost asking whether you are smoking at this time. Maybe tomorrow you will quit! :)
Are there other expressions that would fall into this category?

Ha, yeah, I hear you Martha. Büşra and I sometimes wonder if we should teach the geniş zaman as a habitual tense at all. Even though every grammar book in existence teaches it that way, you'll actually find that the present continuous is overwhelmingly preferred in the daily language.
I've lost count of the number of times I've used the aorist "by the book" and a Turk has corrected me to use the present continuous instead. So, to answer your question, you can pretty much use present continuous for habitual action whenever you want.
