Or if you're a nonsmoker...then whatever ritual/habit/compulsion you have that seems intrinsic to your personality... This is purely hypothetical...no one's asking me to quit. I don't think I would. I mean...love is all fine and dandy but it just doesn't compare to nicotine. caffeine and nicotine are not intrinsic to your body, so i'd question the "realness" of your personality if you define yourself by your addictions. personally, i'd question the attractiveness of that type of personality period, but hey, I'm sure if you have some compensating factors (e.g., hot looks or artistic talent) you can find some pocket rebel w/ tattoos with whom you can trade parental divorce stories with. What was Amy Winehouse's boyfriend name again? |

I'm not a smoker, but if I were a smoker, I wouldn't quit for someone. If she doesn't like it, she can find someone who doesn't smoke and I can find someone who's comfortable with it. There's too many sexy people in the world to turn your life upside down over one of them.

I still allow myself the occasional cigarette though I know it bugs the missus. I couldn't take it up full time anymore though, and not just because I love her.

I don't date smokers--period. I've passed up some fine women because they smoked. I don't tell them why either. So they're probably wondering how they could look so good and more or less be offering to me and I walked away. That's why. It's that important to me. No smoking. And thinking you can make people quit for you is crazy. You can't change people and I won't waste my time trying. Then there's all the mood swings and crap smokers go through trying to quit and 999 out of 1000 they fail and go back to it. In fact, I've NEVER seen a smoker succesfully quit for someone. I've never tried to make a smoking woman quit for me--I just don't date them. I've already watched my friends and my brother trying to deal with smokers and I don't need the some aggravation. Just as a smoker wouldn't quit for me, I won't waste my time dating you if you smoke--and a waste of time is all it is.

Smokers need love too. We're not crackheads, y'know.  Hah! I know! But I do think that asking someone to quit a habit for you - especially smoking - is risky. On the other hand, you meet a lot of people outside bars/clubs while they are smoking. I can't be around cigarette smoke at all, so that pretty much is that. |

If and when I find that special someone yes I would, but it would be on my own accord.

While I won't get into a relationship with a smoker, a smoker too has the responsibility to not hide their habit. I always find it amusing when smokers think you can't tell if they had a cigarette or two earlier in the day. They can shower, they can change clothes, they brush and use mouthwash and it won't matter. A non-smoker knows right away. It's just like smoking indoors. They think you can't tell if they had a cigarette in the house earlier in the day while you were out. A non-smoker can smell the effects of a single cigarette in the house three days after. Don't pull that crap, smokers, we non-smokers are WAY ahead of you. You're not hiding your habit from anyone but yourselves. That's only because smoking isn't illegal. If it was and it carried a significant penalty, you smokers would find out just what strung-out junkies you really are. Your drug of choice is addictive, ruins your looks, makes you smell, and gives you cancer. You pollute our air and act like it's your right. Then you leave those toxic butts laying all over the place. Imagine smack junkies leaving their syringes scattered all over the sidewalks. I know a guy who won't smoke pot in front of his kids but has no problem lighting up a cigarette even when they're trapped in the car with him and have to breathe his smoke. In short, you smokers are assholes. I definitely think it should be banned in bars and restaurants. Do it out back in the alley with the rest of the junkies. |

mukashi: I know what you mean, when I'm in my nonsmoking phases I can't stand being around smoke, it makes me nauseated when I've quit. But then once I start back up again I go back to not noticing it again. Funnily, though, before I ever started smoking being around it never nauseated me. It's just afterwards, when I've quit. I do remember that. For me, now, it's a little different and worse. I have developed some sensitivities (allergies?) I never had earlier in life. I always had a problem with cats, rabbits, hamsters, etc., but never dogs. Now, dogs affect my breathing, skin, etc. Cigarette smoke, which never used to bother me, creates real problems. Perfumes/colognes do the same. I can't expect other people to accommodate me (except in the workplace), so I just move when needed. It's too bad about dogs, though - I like dogs. |

Comparing cigarettes with crack is beyond naive. The truth hurts, doesn't it? When it comes to people smoking around me--that's EXACTLY what I am. And worse. So DON'T DO IT! You have no idea how upset I get when people blow smoke in my face. You think I'am an asshole now? I'm a perfect sweetheart compared to that. We don't s*** to do with you and your smelly ass. We WANT to you to stay away from us. Then stay away from us and go smoke somewhere else. |
