<p>I have an ex who smoked and she was my last gf. We broke up a while ago, and I smoke a lot… I hear all the time that women don’t like it, but I don’t care, If a girl wants me to quit she’ll be out the window.</p>
<p>So ladies, would you consider a charming, handsome, 5’10" male even if he smoked? Be honest. </p>
<p>P.S. I’m not a bad smoker, I only go thru 3-4 packs a week…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t date a smoker.</p>
<p>I won’t date a smoker.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t either.</p>
<p>I also wouldn’t date a smoker.</p>
<p>Jesus H. Christ…
Why is it so terrible?!
I’m just trying to figure this out…
It’s very difficult to quit smoking cold turkey…</p>
<p>have you ever smelled yourself. i know its hard to tell when you are a smoker but trust me it’s there. also there is the whole “kissing an ashtray bit” but personally, the smell of it gives me really bad headaches as well. i just feel miserable when i’m around smokers.</p>
<p>Yeah, I won’t disagree with you there… It does smell bad.
But that’s why we blow the smoke AWAY from us, and then people complain about it… You can’t win
Smokers are usually stressed out because of the pressures that people put on them to stop smoking.
Now my question is, why don’t we tell fat people, to stop eating food that’s bad for them.</p>
<p>Smoking has been demonized beyond belief… It’s bad for you, but the public makes it even worse.</p>
<p>Personally, I abhore smoking. However, any guy I date is free to smoke as long as he doesn’t expect me to smoke with him, doesn’t smoke around me, and doesn’t mind me reminding hom of how bad it is. If he can take that, he can smoke as much as he wants and still date me.</p>
<p>i can see your point, but i have to say something. obese people eating doesnt have secondhand side effects</p>
<p>I wouldn’t ever date a smoker.</p>
<p>but, if the girl smokes I really don’t think she should complain about the guy. same the other way around.</p>
<p>As a nonsmoker, I won’t date a smoker.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t date someone who smoked more than socially, and infrequently at that. (I’m a guy, so this goes for girls)</p>
<p>Why? Cigarettes smell terrible, have other effects on you personally other than smell, lead to awkwardness and having to step around the addiction the same way any other addiction does, and I don’t want to date someone who is eventually extremely likely to die because of an unnecessary habit.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t date a smoker, and my H was quitting when he met me and went cold turkey</p>
<p>smokers die earlier, have bad teeth and stink, they just don’t know it cuz they can’t smell themselves anymore</p>
<p>who wants to stand out in the cold keeping someone company who can’t control themselves</p>
<p>just quit already</p>
<p>and how come many millions of people who don’t smoke get through with the same stresses, etc</p>
<p>smoking CREATES stress, because if you aren’t smoking, your addiction takes over, so its not life that is stressing you its the addiction</p>
<p>and oh, pity party to the poor putdown smokers</p>
<p>your choice, deal with it</p>
<p>ps- blowing it away is useless. </p>
<p>we used to go out, and neither of us smoked, but if we were around smokers, we reeked, we would actually remove our clothes from the room and wash right away because the second hand smoke stunk up the room so badly</p>
<p>and now smokers are saying they smoke because nonsmokers are giving them grief? yeah, right</p>
<p>I guess I’ll go against the crowd and say I’d date a smoker. I did actually. He turned out to be a real ahole, though. Nothing to do with his smoking, though. Oh, and I’m a non-smoker. As long as you’re not pressuring me to smoke if I don’t want to, I don’t care.</p>
<p>Then again, I’m one of those weirdos who likes the smell of smoke, gasoline, and sharpies. :p</p>
<p>(And, hey, I’m not gonna lie: smoking can be a turn on. Not all the time. But it definitely can be)</p>
<p>^I haven’t noticed any of those times yet…</p>
<p>I find it funny how the OP tries to justify the cause for smoking, and then quickly gets shut down by the “mom”. I started smoking when I was 16, smoked for 2 years, and then quit cold turkey style, I have been off for around a year now, and never had an urge to smoke again. The moral to what I just said is that if you set your heart on something, you will no doubtly achieve it.</p>
<p>Well, I’m glad SOMEONE hasn’t shunned me because I smoke…</p>
<p>Wanna know why people smoke at bars, and other social scenes? It’s because they want to look SOPHISTICATED! Yeah, that’s right, smoking is classy, whether you agree with it or not.</p>
<p>Wanna know something else? The anti-smoking ads, and such are put out by the EXACT same people who run the tobacco corporations. It’s how they advertise. If you don’t want people to smoke, don’t talk about it.</p>
<p>I was brought up with smokers. My parents did it, my Grandparents still do it, and my family owned a tobacco farm.</p>
<p>“and now smokers are saying they smoke because nonsmokers are giving them grief? yeah, right”
Comments like this are not going to help.</p>
<p>Just because I smoke does not demote me to some Neanderthal…</p>
<p>I’m not trying to back up the Tobbacco Companies…
I’m just saying that smoking isn’t that big of an issue.
I am in no way proud of being a smoker.
But I have an addictive personality, and I can’t help that…
I didn’t want to start a tobacco war, I just wanted a few opinions.
I can appreciate your anti-smoking reasons, because they are all valid.
But, I think that you need to chill out.</p>
