Could you, as a non-smoker/user, be friends with smokers/users? (member)

If you are a non-smoker/user, could you intentionally associate, even be friends with a smoker, vaper, dipper, et cetera? Drug user? Weed user? Edibles eaters? The list goes on.

Can we count drinkers? (Cause I'm a smoker.)


Yes, I can be friends. Unless they're ignorant drinkers.

I'm a confirmed nonsmoker and I've been good friends with smokers. If they're courteous, I'm fine with it. I've even been known to accompany a friend outside for a smoking break.

Smokers? Sure. Heck, I'll even throw pot in this category.



Users of more serious stuff? No. Because, despite their impression powers of rationalization, they tend to be pretty f'ed up people with seriously bad judgment. Eventually, they spiral out of control. And, quite frankly, I've never known a user who wasn't also a user of people.

Yes to tobacco and alcohol. No to illicit drugs. Pot smokers maybe ... I just don't want it around me.

I know plenty of non smokers. I'm friends with plenty of non smokers. They just don't go outside with me when I light up. LOL

legal, yes. illegal, no. actually...illegal anything. tried to be a friends, but the drug won every time.

I'm a smoker, and almost all of my friends and family members are non-smokers... doesn't seem to bother them, since I'm respectful about it! Even in my own home & car, I'll refrain unless they explicitly tell me it's okay (to do in their presence). And I'm just referring to tobacco, since more of my friends smoke pot than cigarettes. It's California, lol.

I'm an ex-smoker so I like to smell the smoke from smokers.

In theory I could be friends with any of those people. In practice it's only smokers, but who knows what the future holds. Doesn't mean I would ever smoke or use myself--I've got enough vices as it is! I can't stand the smell of cigarettes or weed anyway.
