Recently, a few friends and I had stumbled upon a conversation about dating someone who smoked. It was just a feature about the person that was superficial and that smoking would not deprive them of their true nature/personality.
But would you really date someone who smokes? What if your love for one another was so strong that you would actually marry and devote your life for one another...would you still tolerate them? Or would you change their ways and convince them to not smoke?
Loved ones passing away is tragic and if your SO smokes, chances are you're going to outlive them. So where's the hope of all that when you know you would outlive the love of your life?
There is a chain reaction when you date someone who smokes as your life could change very drastically...from harming yourself to losing the person who smokes...
Would you date someone who smokes?
True

Most probably not. If I happened to marry the dude and he still didn't quit, it would make it hard for me since I have asthma... and plus all that odor, and the health risks... >.<
My girl is already smokin', and I don't mean ciggarettes.
Absolutely not
actually.. i would. because i can't judge them i just know its not for me. i told the guy i'm interested in that he just can't smoke around me is all. (yes he'll smell like it, but i can put up with that)
if i really liked them and really had a connection with them, yeah.
but quit, or you get no kissin' from me.
As long as they weren't smoking constantly. More than one or two a day and I just can't take the lingering smell. It gives me a headache.
No, it smells
If it is only a casual dating and not a long term one. I can't stand smokers.
Never in my life.
I did and hated it. the smell of the cigarettes (plus my pregnancy) made me so sick. ugh. I'm def not doing that again...
absolutely not; kissing the person would be like kissing an ashtray. thumbs down*
No, i won't. I don't like the smell of cigs
no.
My boyfriend smokes. I didn't smoke until we started dating. It's not a big deal to me. We don't smoke in the house, and we don't smoke all the time- he smokes probably three cigarettes a day, and I stick to maybe one or two. Nooooooooooot a big deal.
no. it's a total dealbreaker for me.
Probably not.
No. If I happen to have a connection with someone who does smoke, they have to be willing to quit, not only for me but for themselves and anyone else who cares about them, those they care about, and anyone they'll be around. Otherwise it just wouldn't work because it is a big deal for me.
I tried dating a smoker. Not my thing. Honestly, if he was this amazingly great guy that I can connect with, I hardly doubt I'd say no. The smoking has to eventually go, though. I can't have another one pull out a cigarette every thing he wanted to piss me off when we were in the middle of a fight or when he was mad at me. Forget that :)
i've done it before. it definitely doesn't bother me.
nope. no kisses.
No, I can't stand the smell. And I can not bear the thought of a loved one getting cancer.
No. Tried it, yuck.
i LOVE smokers.
jk, i wouldn't. don't like smoking at all. Trying to get my dad to stop actually.
nope. they'd taste bad.
ironically speaking, i get turn off by guys who smoke but my ex is a heavy smoker.
