smoking

[looseliam]

I'm a former smoker. So it'd be hypocritical to not date a smoker.

But I'm an addict, of all varieties. I'd be back smoking in no time. I just can't do that.

So I may shy away from someone smoking.

Plus, the smell. Even when I was a smoker, the smell would sometimes nauseate me.

Good luck to you, though. Once the cues are broken, it'll be that much easier to refrain from smoking.

I already have. But he's since given it up. You go, Pubert.

probably not. i'm not particularly fond of the smell of cigarette smoke.

 

[CudDULL]

no i made out with a smoker when i was a little tipsy and i didnt like it

 

[slyfer]

Depends on how attractive they are, how often they brush their teeth, and how well we click. Or if they smoke, they never smoke around me and i never smell it on them. Then i'd be ok with it.

It's an age old question that has no difinitive answer.

People who say they wouldn't are only saying it. Yet if the right man came along and his only downfall was cigarettes opinions would change. If the guy liked you enough as well and saw how much happier you were with him not smoking then he may choose to quit.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

Ummm, I've never dated a smoker until now, and he only does it occassionally. I was 1-2 packs a day for about 5 years but recently quit.

It's a pain in the ass, I get AWFUL headaches and sometimes you cough up stuff that's less than flattering as your lungs start to clear out.

Good luck to you, and don't let anyone tell you it can't be done cold turkey.

You know, two of my relatives have quit smoking after a long time (15+years). The interesting part is that they both stopped cold (both at different times), and it has seemed to work really well. They never did the gum or patch.

If they wanted me to kiss them, they'd have to stop smoking. I've quit smoking and it's not as hard as people make it out to be IMO, you just really have to want to... and I have an addictive personality no doubt. I would fool around with a smoker but I couldn't date one. I love frequent kisses and I really hate cigarette smoke. I'm a prude like that. Such a prude, in fact, it sometimes irritates me hanging out with smokers because I get tired of pausing everything we're doing so they can have a smoke break, whether it's a movie or whatever, everything always has to be halted so they can smoke a ciggie. I also wouldn't want to watch their health deteriorate or even worse listen to their awful coughs get even worse. That would be sad.

I haven't had a cig in a week.


The longest I've gone with quitting was three months but I'm gonna try to do it for good now.

Once you quit your sense of smell is stronger and I notice the smell of cigarette smoke right away on someone. It's a really nasty smell and it didn't bother me much when I smoked but once you quit it's not very pleasant.

If I liked someone enough yeah I'd still be with them if they smoked.

You are doing the the best thing in the world for yourself by quitting. I wouldn't even hook up with a smoker. This one guy I hooked up with lied and said he didn't smoke. I gave him a massage and I knew immediately he smoked. My hands smelled like smoke for three days. I felt bad for the guy because he liked me and I him but there is no way I could get past the smoking thing.
You surely will expand your dating opportunities by quitting. I commend you!!!

To a certain extent I'm in a relationship with two right now.

Both my Sir and Brother smoke. At first I really did not like the smoke getting in my eyes and my eyes would hurt sometimes after going over there. Also my parents hated me coming home with the smoke smell. My eyes have gotten used to it though and aren't irrated by it anymore.

I don't care about the smell. I actually think it smells a little hot. Now I can see how some guys are into Cigar daddies.

As for smoking myself I don't smoke. I don't plan on it regardless that my Sir and Brother do. Interesting enough though, another Leather Master/slave couple that we know of has recently STOPPED smoking.

I was surprised. I do think it would be possible for my Sir to stop smoking. He doesn't smoke nearly as much as Brother. I do not like the feeling that smoking is going to really hurt Sir later on down the road but he said that he doesn't want to live forever or to be really old anyways. And I respect his wishes. Even though I did have a grandfather who died from smoking and the pain he was in and what he went through did not seem enjoyable. I suppose everyone has to go some way or another.

Besides people make out smoking to be really bad and for disgusting and low class people. My Sir isn't disgusting or low class at all. Besides, there are things and habits WAY WORSE in this world than smoking. Smoking is so minor I don't even see the point of it being on the radar.

But I do think that smokers who are around people who don't care for smoking or dislike it should respect that person and either wait til they leave or go somewhere else to do it.

It depends on the individual, but the guy smoking wouldn't be a valid reason for me to not date him, unless it was an excessive amount that got in the way of our relationship, e.g. going outside every 15 minutes if we were at a bar to have a smoke.

 

[unloadonme]

I voted no. I can't stand the smell and I'm not overly keen on the taste of a smoker's kisses.

 

[MisterMajestic]

ok so..... i'm trying to quit smoking. i've wanted to for a while, but now i am trying to catch someone's attention and think i will have a better chance as a non-smoker. i'm only in the beginning stages (smoked my last cig friday).

so what i'm getting at, would you go out with a smoker?

I'm a non-smoker and never tried it. I've TRIED dating Females & Male smokers and I just couldnt hang...Second-hand smoke turns my stomach inside out. "Candy" does NOT mask that smokey tongue either...

Sorry to say..Smoking is a MAJOR deal-breaker when I'm looking for a long-term relationship...

 

[boiseboy]

Buy an e-cig. You get your nicotine fix without the harsh chemicals and cigarette smell.

But of course I'd date a smoker. Unless he was a chain smoker, I dont see much of a problem with it otherwise.

 

[vulgar_newcomer]

As someone with asthma who is also terribly allergic to cigarette smoke, I have but I'd be hesitant to ever do so again. The last guy I dated smoked. Although, he was considerate, I don't like when a guy(a friend or otherwise) can't even get through dinner or spending the night with me without having to excuse himself to go outside to smoke. I don't think I could have a boyfriend who smoked. How could I when I can't even be around friends who smoke?

So no doubt you don't like cell phones stuck in people;s ears and ringing during those same type of social times when they have to excuse themselves or rudely and loudly don't excuse themselves but talk even louder to be heard on the phone or are texting non stop and not paying any attention to the social gathering they are in?
How can anyone date a guy who has a cell phone stuck in the ear all the time or is texting ever 5 minutes!
Lately I've seen these guys walking around clubs with little earpiece phones stuck to their ear like a hearing aide.
I wouldn't give them the time of day.
I'm with you on that.

GOOD LUCK with your quest, shaggyvox - PLEASE stick with it!

Your body and your metabolism will thank you. You may initially put on some weight, but that tendency doesn't last forever, and diligence can take the pounds back off.

Yes, I truly wish you full success...I've seen the consequences too often, and it's not good...

 

[saymyname]

Unless someone is a chain smoker, you don't really notice it that much.

I smoke occasionally and my boyfriend is a regular smoker. It doesn't bother me. Everyone has their vice. Besides, despite health concerns, sharing a cigarette is nice, and the cigarette after sex is amazing.
