Would you date a smoker? (woman, love, sex, average)

[rego00123]

hell no.
destroy my health, my material possessions and having to deal with any potential future complications brought on by the abuse they they have done to their bodies.

why would i?

Heck no

As a straight guy, a gal who smokes has to bring a *lot* of positives to the table to make up for it, pretty much no smoking in my car, or house, and it does limit how involved I want to get with them, because they are going to have health problems and age prematurely.

And, it depends on how heavily they smoke. Pack a day, you would really have to be HOT, and RICH, and maybe a few other desirable attributes, or no thanks. Gal who smokes a few a day, pack lasts her all week, not as big a deal. If you do a pack a day, or more, you are addicted, I think that's pretty much an accepted medical fact.

I would think this is a different deal for women, since guys may be cigar or pipe smokers, which in general are not as obnoxious as cigarettes. Most main line American cigarettes have a lot of "stuff" in them.

Speaking of which - do they still make Kools? The worst smelling ambient smoke I have ever smelled.

Pretty much that, as long as they do it outside.

There's supposedly some kind of link between a woman who smokes and an oral fixation. Maybe Freud's disciples can shed light on this.

Bleh. I used to smoke so I know how it is. As long as they were wanting/trying to quit.

[Yellow Jacket]

No disgusting.

If i caught them smoking while they were 'trying' to hide it from me, it would then become an immediate deal breaker.
Amazing how smokers that smoke and then lie about it to a potential s/o. Do they really think we can't taste the ashtray flavor when you kiss a non smoker? No amount of gum or brushing of the teeth ever completely cleans that taste away.

^^^ this!!!

I'm going to say no. If a smoker asked me out I would have to be really captivated by him and really attracted to him in order to say yes. I wouldn't want to kiss him, or sit/stand/walk with smoke blowing at me.

Just no smoking indoors. I don't totally mind the leftover smell of burnt cigars or burnt marijuana, but burnt cigarettes (except Nat Shermans and other top-quality tobacco) don't smell good to me.

I agree!
