Do you think a smoker and a non-smoker can get along in long term relationship? (date, personal)

I have been wondering about that and curious what people think . . . I would think that if each person is willing to compromise (and work on other issues in the relationship) it might work.
There are certain things I'm not willing to compromise on - and smoking is one of them. I couldn't be in a relationship with a smoker. But that's me. Others can make it work.
It can be rough...I'm an ex-smoker so I sympathize with my bf. However, he is not allowed to smoke in the house. He can smoke on the deck and in the garage - in the summer the garage door has to be open.
As it is, I still don't like the smell of smoke in the garage...or the cars but I figure it is a compromise. He says he'll quit, but I know how that goes... and the relationship is not based on the expectation that he actually will.
For most people I'd say it doesn't work and is a constant battle - you have to have very clear lines what you'll put up with.
No, well I would date a smoker chick and I have but she wont stay a smoker long because ill take em and stomp on em whenever she smokes lol i do it in fun, and we make jokes about it but eventually they stop smoking out of my constant sarcastic barbs, my complaining about the smell, and me stomping out cigs heh

It's certainly possible. It really depends on how flexible the non-smoker is, IMO. Personally, I'd rather be alone than be with someone who smoked....not saying I'm right, but I think a lot of non-smokers feel that way.

You're telling us you do this and it works? Somehow I doubt it. I wish it was that easy.
