Are you a smoker or non smoker?
Would you date a smoker?
Why? Why not?
Today is my 8 year non smoking anniversary and one of my hard limits is I will not date a smoker. The idea of kissing a smoker makes me sick to my stomach which makes me appreciate my ex husband a little bit since he never complained about it.
Smoking is a deal breaker for me, as is any tobacco use. Grosses me out!
cigarettes are an adult soother. I can't afford them for starters. I do love the occasional joint . I would however kiss a smoker so long as it was long and slow and hot as hell. Of course I may never get the chance !
I air breathe and will never knowingly kiss an ashtray of a human mouth FIRE BREATHING DRAGON tobacco is dope and I support medical ROPE smokers coping with disease or trauma
Well.... I smoke outside the house. Never smoked inside my house... always outside. Only smoke in my truck...not in my wife's toys.
Congratulations quiting smoking is very hard to do. I just it 36 years as a non smoker and every once in awhile I get the urge. Crazy. I used to say it must be like kissing an ash tray to keep me motivated.
Non smoker here. I smoked weed in my misspent youth and for the record if it becomes legal here I probably would again. But it's all about the kissing. From a personal freedom perspective smoke if you want but I find it unattractive.

I quit 4 years ago. I don't think I could kiss a smoker either.
I have never smoked and I am in the category full non-smoker. However, it occurred to me dating smokers (two so far) and, although the passive smoke makes me sick, a smoker partner is not annoying for the kissing part. What makes the real difference is packed cigarettes vs rolled tobacco. The tobacco used to roll cigarettes has less chemicals, thus more bearable for no smokers. On the other hands, what annoys me are their habit: smoking in your house with the window open (no matter what, it gets in anyway). Ditching conversations because they have to take a puff. For instance, my mom is big smoker and, every time I go home, I let her freeze, because I have the necessity opening all the windows to let some fresh air in.
In conclusions, if you have a smoker partner and they love you, kindly ask them to switch to rolled cigarettes. Hammering them with an argument you won't even win, namely asking them to quit, is useless. But you can reduce effects on you and it's better taking actions and make some rules from the very beginning. This is the way I do.
I quit a little over a year ago, I've tried for years and failed.
My doc gave me a prescription for Chantix and I quit in a little over a month.
I can instantly smell a smoker if I just walk past someone in a store, the idea of kissing a smoker would turn my stomach.
I hadn't thought about the possibility of finding a nice atheist woman I really like just to find out she smokes, so thanks for that.
@witchymom It did upset my stomach slightly whenever I smoked, but that just made want to quit even more. I wish they had that stuff 20 years ago.
Ex-smoker here. I gave up four years ago after trying for ages with sheer will power, patches and gum - finally kicked my 25-year habit with the aid of an e-cig. Personally, I would still date a smoker, but I'd have to really, really like her!
The best thing about giving up in my opinion (well, along with being slightly less likely to die a slow, painful death gasping for every breath) is not having ashtrays around the house. I never noticed when I was a smoker, but they absolutely reek - I know if there's one in a house as soon as I walk in now.
My house must of stunk because I did! I had only one rule - never, ever smoke in front of a child, in the hope they'll grow up thinking it's a weird thing to do.
