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

[AnotherTouchOfWhimsy]

As long as they're not smoking indoors where I am or outdoors and blowing it in my face, I don't care.

You may not think they do, but they probably do, even if you don't smoke in them. I have a coworker whose office smells of stale cigarettes. Of course, she's never smoked in her office. She doesn't think there's a smell, but there is.

That was a joke about it's aroma not stink.

yes of course …..why not?? no one smokes in someones house anymore or in front of people without warning them

no need to treat smokers like lepers..... now if you said vegans.... that'd be different smokers dont try to convert you or look down their nose

I am a non-smoker. I tried smoking cigarettes a few times but found the flavor too acrid, and also got too nauseated and lightheaded and never attempted again.

But the sight of an attractive female smoker is just too arousing and sexy I have no problem to be a friend or even marry one.

I will have nothing to do drug users, and that includes those who use pot in any form.* People who drink socially are fine, though I myself don't drink. (Alcoholics are a definite no!) As for tobacco smokers/vapers, that's a more difficult question. I abhor smoking, which has killed several in my family. I could be casual friends with a smoker or a vaper if they don't smoke/vape around me, but I would never date one.


*I would make an exception for someone who, for medical reasons, uses CBD.

I don't smoke but just about every woman I ever dated did.My wife does....I'd like her to quit for health and financial reasons but the smell doesn't bother me.I don't drink or smoke weed either but have plenty of friends who do,doesn't bother me.

I was married to a very heavy smoker for 28 years, I have never smoked. I could not go through that again no matter how much I loved her. A super model could come along, and if she smoked, I would have to pass on her.

I never realized how everything that is associated with a smoker smells to high Hell of smoke. My ex kept my cat for 3 days for me, and I had to bath him twice when he came home. If she brings me something, I have to toss it out due to the smell.

Smoking is one of the dirtiest habits on the planet.

I am a non-smoker, have always been a non-smoker and I hate everything about smoking and cigarette smoke. Smoking also killed my mother. But I have plenty of friends who are smokers (or were smokers over the years, many have quit at this stage, but not all) and have hung out in lots of smoking situations over the years, including hosting smokers and allowing smoking in my own home. I am at an age where I no longer want people to smoke in my home. But people smoking at a party or something wouldn't stop me from going, if it was an event I wanted attend.

Have you ever kissed a smoker? It's gross - like licking an ashtray. BTW my husband died of lung cancer ten years after he quit.
