Does smoking matter?

I HATE smoking so much. My boyfriend smokes but I'm still with him. he has a promise to me that he's going to stop when he gets back from hawaii. I have faith in him, but well see. but my answer is no I hate it. it doesn't make them less attractive.

I have dated a smoker and I think it's way less attractive because it makes you smell bad and makes your teeth yellow, but I don't think wouldn't date them JUST because they smoked. It's a bad habit, but it can be kicked to the curb eventually and as long as they don't smoke in my face or my car, I probably wouldn't care that much. I got to the point with the smoker that I dated that I even let him smoke in my car, but I won't let anyone anymore. That's gross.

I personally would rather not date a guy who smokes because kissing them is like licking an ash tray. It makes their breath smell nauseating and their life span is a lot shorter, I want a man that I can grow old with. If it came to a point though, where I got to know the boy before I knew he smoked and liked who he was, smoking wouldn't be as big of a deal. I just would make him quit, or at least encourage him to ; )

I have no respect for women who smoke. I think it's degrading when a woman walks around smelling like cigarettes. It's very unattractive to me.
As for men, some women think its masculine and attractive. I have no respect for people who aren't concerned about their own health. I wouldn't date a guy if he was smoker. Not even an occasional smoker.
So Yes, it matters.

I don't mind either way.

Smoking does matter to me. I can't stand the smell and why would I want to be with someone that could die early from all the health risks? If I see a hot guy and he smokes, I am instantly not attracted to him. Gross.

no smoking is pretty cool as long as you have breath mints

Personally, whether a guy smokes or not is up to him. It doesn't bother me because I've grown up with smokers around me all the time. I've been talking to a guy friend of mine, who smokes, and he says that when he's in a relationship, he quits smoking, but it's because he has something else to occupy his time. In other words, he's not just sitting idle and needing something to do. When he's single, he lights up, when he's attached, he doesn't. It doesn't

For me, it doesn't matter if a guy smokes. I have boundaries, you don't smoke in my truck, and don't expect me to be ok with it if you offer me one. It's not like I'm the one inhaling the smoke, and I understand about second hand smoke, but, like I've already said, I grew up around smokers, so I've learned to avoid it.

Yes, I believe it's a huge turn OFF. It would affect my attraction to them because they'd smell like cigarettes, most likely have bad breath from it , and when they couldn't get their fix, they'd turn into a monster. Smoking kills brain cells and if they smoked and things got serious { ex. marriage} their life expectancy would go way down, which would hurt their loved one in the end. CASE IN POINT: smoking is nasty.

eww. hahaha it does matter.

it's not gonna be a deal-breaker but I would prefer he doesn't smoke

i hate smoking all my friends used to smoke and I hated it have you ever kissed someone whos a smoker and your not its so disgusting I had to stop kissing a fella because of the taste in my mouth ewh so when I see fellas I like smoke it turns me off a little but if I like them a lot I'm not going to say ok you smoke goodbye but it is defiantly a turn off

I would never date a guy if he smoked.
So yes, it matters A TON!


:)

It really wouldn't bother me if the guy I was with smoked. I'm just so used to being around people who smoke. And I smoke too so it would be better if he did. The guys I know who smoke don't care if their girlfriends smoke. And it just smells so good when the smoke mixes in with their cologne.

Smoking is one thing that I wouldn't be able to tolerate.

For one thing, I can't be around the smoke. I either get a migraine or have an allergic reaction, and neither is a pleasant experience.

Plus, cancer runs in my family so being around someone who smokes would just be stupid for me. And because I've lost people to cancer, I find smoking incredibly unattractive.

It doesn't bother me at all.

In fact I think the fact that a guy smokes makes me even more attracted to him, it's pretty appealing especially if he smokes a brand I like. (I'm a cigarette snob sometimes, weird huh?). Which has a good deal to do with the fact that I myself am a smoker. Although, no one realizes that I do smoke until I pull out my cigarettes. I take a lot of care to make sure that I don't reek of smoke, as I have close friends that are bothered by the smell (they get headaches, their face itches, etc.). I use breath mints, spritz some perfume occasionally, wash my jackets often, the whole kit and caboodle. I try quite hard to be considerate of non smokers in my environment, I'll even save my cigarette butts and throw them away in a trashcan later so that I don't litter.

It's nice to date a guy who smokes too, because usually he won't harass me about the fact that I do. One thing a lot of people don't seem to understand is that SMOKERS ARE AWARE OF THE HEALTH RISKS OF SMOKING, really we are (If someone isn't then they are illiterate, there are little warnings on the side of the packs ,put there by the Surgeon General, that tell you all kinds of nifty health risks.), we just choose to continue smoking anyway. It's really quite easy to make a girl feel like shit by constantly harassing her about her nicotine habit. It's kind of cute the first time, you care about her well being blah blah blah, eventually it just makes me want to punch a guy in the face. The only time I find it acceptable for someone to nag me about it is if I have specifically told them "I am trying to quit smoking and would you please remind me that I do not need to smoke half a pack a day?"

Yikes! I didn't even realize that I had that much to say on the subject!
