Would you date a smoker?

Post Reply New Topic

So, beggars can't be choosers and smoking doesn't define a person. But it smells so bad!

Could you get past the smell?

No. I used to smoke. Yeah the smell on people is revolting.

No I could not. I have allergies to Tobacco & could not get over the fact my partner choose to live a lifestyle that reduces their lifespan by years.

Nope.

It's a stupid habit, it smells, it's expensive, and there's nothing good I can say about it.

Long term I don't think I could date a tobacco smoker. I would probably try to get the person to quit if I really liked them. It's just so unhealthy and it really affects your apprentice. I have aunts who smoked and by 40 they looked 65.

But I smoke weed so some would say I can't judge. But I would argue what I smoke is much safer for the lungs even though it is smoke.

Honestly the smell of cigarettes never bothered me as much as it did over people, makes me think of old friends and family that are no longer with us so I don't think I would mind. I only ever really smoked cigarettes back when I drank professionally , don't drink like that anymore but I do smoke other stuff so it would be hard to judge in that regard. Personally I think there are too many rules and laws governing smoking, it should be up to a private establishment if they want to allow it or not.

I would of tried when I was single if a smoker would of been interested in me but I'm very thankful my current girlfriend doesn't smoke cuz I have allergy & sinus problems that smoke aggravates.

Difficult question. Smoking doesn't define a person. But I would not allow them to smoke in my apartment and I wouldn't want them to do it around me. I wouldn't say it's a total deal-breaker.

Ugh, god no. I know some smokers, it's a revolting habit and they're almost always addicted to the stuff. You get bombarded with gross smelling smoke that sticks to your clothes and if you've got sensitive lungs (like me) can trigger coughing fits. It's very expensive and there's a myriad of health problems associated with it.

Don't think you can just step in and cure somebody of smoking addiction, because it's much more complicated than that. It'd be a constant up-hill battle that you have little chance of winning, and that's even when the smoker agrees that it's bad for them, god help you if they're still in the denial stage.

For me, it's an absolute deal breaker.

I side with this sentiment. I've been attracted to smokers and non-smokers alike, and I've even kissed a smoker with no ill effect in regards to taste or smell. It's likely because I used to be a smoker myself, but even having quit, it's something I could probably look past, especially if it's in moderation. I doubt I would get on well with a two-pack-a-day type of person.

A non-smoker is a deal-breaker for hookah-smokers anyway, they perceive it as unsocial and uncool.

Smokers get very annoying in travels too.

No.

I do have a preference for non-smokers, but I'm not entirely against dating a smoker. As long as she doesn't smoke endlessly, so to say.

My views on this have recently changed. I was adamant that I was nothing going to date a smoker again, not because of the smell, but kisses taste weird. But apparently if it comes to the right person I don't seem to mind.

Personally no because my brother has asthma and when he was younger just being near a smoker put him in intensive care so It put me off

Definitely not! I'd rather stay single!
