Would date a smoker?

Well, I'm a smoker so yeah. It'd be hypocritical not to.

I actually find something sexy about girl's smoking.

No, its true. If you have good hygein and stuff. People will be none the wiser, that you smoke.

Bull****.

(Unless hygein is some new, more successful type of Oust...)

I smoke so it wouldn't bother me but my other half quit smoking a year ago and can't stand the smell of it, which I understand but it's annoying-he has a short memory!
I would date a smoker but only if I smoked too-if I quit then I wouldn't.

No, don't like the smell of smoke, and definitely not in my own house.

I'm a smoker and my girlfriend isn't, She says she doesn't mind the taste, and she rather likes to smell of smoke (When its being smoked - I doubt its the after smell) And I always feel bad about being a smoker when I'm with her. Shes my first non-smoker girlfriend, so I find it quite hard on myself, as I feel quite guilty.

Hence, I'm actually cutting back, and planning on quitting too; because I don't think its fair on her. She doesn't nag about it or anything at all, but still! :P

In the interest of fairness tho she should compare the taste difference between a smokers and a non smokers .. for ehh science i guess..

You would have to be some kind of emotional cripple to make something as common as smoking the deal-breaker in a relationship.

Actual real-life conversation I had:*

"You are the kindest guy ever, you have the mind of a scientist, arm like a rocket and a cock like a Burmese python. But you smoke. No, I know that for most people, smoking is a transient thing and you will probably give up in a few years but the smell is bad. What do you mean you had to look past things too? What do you mean I always smell of cheese and onion crisps? What do you mean when you say that you were willing to look past the fact that my mother looks like Mo Mowlem's uglier twin that they kept in the attic and fed fish heads and that I'll most likely turn out that way? How very dare you? Only I may set the arbitrary rules of engagement. It is only I who needs to look past heinous flaws such as smoking. I am perfect. You should count yourself lucky that I actually deign to speak to a lowly smoker such as yourself."

*Dramatisation. May not have happened.

I suppose the people who are so vehemently against dating a smoker, would have no problem going out on first date and getting hammered, or going out with someone who's idea of fun is getting wasted every weekend. :rolleyes:

Actually, I wouldnt date a smoker and I also wouldn't date a heavy drinker.
I'm happily married to a great guy who doesn't smoke and, like me, has better things to be doing than getting wasted.
We enjoy a glass of good wine with a steak though. : )

my answer is yes. Firmly in the anti-smoking group myself, never have never will smoke. Thought it would be a deal breaker, but turned out its just something I accept now... Its just her thing, doesn't really bother me.

It wont smell like cigarettes, unless they are homeless!!!!!

Nobody even notices the smell of cigarettes, 2 people fancy each other and they pull, great. It doesnt come into account! Ive yet to meet anyone who notices the smell off me.

Ive often said oh what do you think of smokers, they say they are horrible etc, I say im a smoker and they quickly change their tune.

Youre attracted to them or youre not, if smoking turns you off in terms of a relationship fair enough, but they are always good for a shag lol

Im sorry kids, but your kidding yourself if you think people dont notice the smell of smoke of you. In fact its hilarious if you think they dont.

Christ i can smell it off my hands from the pint glass that has been through the wash who knows how many dozen times.

Look the long and short of it is, if you smoke and your happy have at it. I wouldnt go out with you, ive no issue being your friend. But in terms of kissing you and sleeping beside your smokey hair and smokey face and smokey clothes day in and day out. Get up the yard.

And in fairness sydney most people can get the shex, there is always someone looking for the shex smoking or not there is someone out there that will have no issues getting on you.


But if you firmly believe others cant smell it off you then your what is termed as 'smokers delusion'

They can smell it, they just arent making an issue of it and if they are happy with that then fine. Your none the wiser, and they want their end.

I'd possibly make an exception for someone i was really into in, but in general no. My attitude to smokers has always been to fúck them, then fúck them out:)
Life is too short to spend it with someone who smells like an ashtray. Smokers breath quite literally turns my stomach, and no matter what any of you think, chewing gum, breath sprays, mouthwash - absolutely nothing covers the stench. I can tolerate that shít for small time frames, especially if i'm drunk or if there's sex on offer, but all day every day would be just too disgusting.
