What's bad about dating a smoker?
1. The stench of their cigarette smoke.

Everything. Smoking (anything) is a deal breaker for me.
Kissing tastes bad, they smell bad, their clothes smell and while hanging make the environment and clothes around them smell, you get a lot of second-hand smoke, if you get married there are higher chances they'll die before you from lung cancer.
The smell after being outside in the rain smoking.. yuck.
The gross cough
The taste when you kiss
The stinky stale breath

The kissing part. And the passive smoker thing is downer too
Everything bad about smoking, only you have to watch it happen to the person you love. Why would I fall for someone who-- statistically speaking-- is more likely to get lung cancer and die well before her natural "time"?
And not to mention, if her breath reeks of fags, then it's just a turn off. I don't wanna kiss that.
The occasional cigarette, cigar, weed, or hookah, I'm fine with if it's a "social" thing, and not frequent enough to become a turn-off. But cigarettes have the worst lingering smell, cigar smells don't linger nearly as long or as strong.
Oh and you can't go anywhere on a night out without them disappearing to smoking area every 15 minutes for their "fix".
Like I say, the odd one here and there is fine. But if she smokes multiples a day, every day, then it WILL have the above listed effects over time. I smoke "socially", occasionally-- usually on the off-chance someone offers and I'm in the mood to say "fuck it". So take this with a pinch of salt, coz technically I'm being somewhat of a hypocrite. I'm certainly no puritan-- I smoke cigars sometimes, I do weed on occasion, and I bum the odd cigarette about once a month. But I'd never let it get to a daily or even weekly habit, and I wouldn't want a future girlfriend to bare the brunt of such a habit.I’ve been dating one and coming from someone who doesn’t smoke cigs I don’t mind at all.
“It’s a waste of money” we just bought a house and doing fine hasn’t affected our budget
“damages teeth” Yeah but his teeth seem to be white regardless of smoking and also enjoys caring for his own self and teeth
“The stench” I learned I hate the smell on myself more than another person
even so he takes care of himself so I don’t smell it often
”the smell on my clothes” I definitely was trying to hide the fact he was a smoker from my parents. They never said anything when I came home and they said something later when they found out
“second hand smoking” lmao the air here is known to be bad regardless and are damaging us at the same rate of second hand
“role model” my aunt is the most loving person ever. I come from a middle class family. She’s married to my uncle who is working at the university I go to. She’s was the most accepting and loving when I moved out when my AUTHORITARIAN parents freaked out. I have social anxiety possibly from the way my parents raised me. If feels like my Dads love can be unconditional at times. She’s the one who said “your kid is a person not someone made to just have medals etc” she didn’t smoke around her kids when they were smaller but will smoke outside on her own time.
Mine don’t smoke and still care about us. They never smoked. Guess what though? I still tried it out of my own interest and curiosity cause you’re still gonna see it around the world. Sorry but I refuse to judge someone out of smokingThat all depends on you, sweetie. I smoke, and have done so since i was 11. Yes, children. In 1988, a kid could walk onto any store in the country and buy a pack of butts. Nobody said a word.
If you are worried about lung cancer, do me a favor. Google "lung cancer, non-smokers". Then try to wrap your head around that number. I have a feeling that the 2 people you saw die from lung cancer were your parents or grandparents. Im truly sorry for their passing. PM me if you would like to talk about this with someone who judge you.
So. Kim. Unless you intend to have pre-date health screenings, id suggest just going with your gut. Your gut is the one part of your life that won't lie to you. It may be wrong. But it will not lie to plead its case.(This doesn’t apply to all smokers but this is what I’ve experienced and witnessed. I’m referring to tobacco smokers here)
If you’re not a smoker and you’re the type that’s trying protect your health, it’s going to get annoying once they get comfortable around you. They usually start off not smoking around you or say they are quitting smoking to impress you. Then once they get used to you they will smoke around you more. Every time you hang out they have to take cig breaks when sometimes you just want be in the moment without the cig breaks. You may start smelling like cigs after a while especially if they smoke indoors. You may find after you argue or have sex, they will need to leave to have a cig. It can feel isolating when this happens. If they don’t care they will just do it around you even in closed areas.There are two major issues I have had with dating a smoker. One is the smell, it is often so strong you can taste it, especially when kissing. It permeates everything mine or hers.
Secondly and more importantly it is dangerous. As a medical professional, anyone that chooses to smoke knowing the obvious serious health detriments that will come along with it, doesn't care about themselves, in my opinion, at least not enough.
That person isn't thinking about our future together. Do they want me to live through the pain and suffering of watching them get lung cancer? Emphysema? Bad skin? Gum disease? Rotten teeth? Is that what they want for me?
I would never want my significant other to live through that, so why should I let someone put me through it?Nothing! Any sign of someone not being a health freak is one of their greatest traits, in my opinion 🚬 Plus, it’s extra hot when it’s an elegant woman... 😍😍😍
For a non-smoker, everything lol. It's just nasty. We're more sensitive to the smell because we don't live with it like they do, and kissing!! Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray (not that I have licked one lol), but it's just a total turn off. I remember kissing one girl, and granted she had just finished a smoke, but it was so nasty I wanted to vomit! I didn't say anything to her and she was probably really self conscious and thought something was wrong with her, but it was just the smoking, I was so turned off and I just stopped everything with her and left.
They're killing themselves, they reek of smoke usually and it doesn't help with my outrageously strong olfactory senses, they yellow their teeth with the tar and other harmful substances in it, and they develop an addiction to it. Etc. All of it is pretty awful... Not to mention the aging effect.
Breath, clothes, car all reek of smoke. Long term health, impacts if we had kids, costs. It’s one thing to lite up occasionally with a drink, it’s another to smoke them by the pack. Same for vapers. It’s a turn off for me, there’s other things I’d rather suck on.
I use to smoke when I was a teenager. I quit cold turkey a long time ago, but to this day I don’t like being around smokers. The smell of tobacco and smoke kind of compel and urge. It’s not something I can’t handle, but it’s annoying so I try to avoid it.
Two things for me and both are really solely about me being an ex smoker (1) The fear of being with a smoker starting me up again (2) I have become a born again non smoker, I feel really strongly about the smell, price, yellow nails and fingers, the general unhealtiness of it - If we got together, had a family, I would like her to be around as long as possible and not smoking around the kids/house.
Well, tbh it depends on where you live. The cigarettes will smell different and have different impacts. In germany for example, there are many smokers because we kind of are a cigarette nation. People don't mind you smoking in the public areas where other people are. There's nothing weird about it, as well as drinking alcohol in public. You can have a beer in the hand and no one will care. Also, our policy for cigarettes is quiet strict, taxes, prizes, everything.
i didn't kiss a smoker yet but as far as I can see from the comments in here. the people say in there their Bad smell, their breath can be turn off🤷🏻♀️they say their clothes smell like a trash🤢🤮and they say their smoker partner can die earlier from lung cancer🤷🏻♀️. i don't know these are true or not cos i never kissed a smoker yet🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I will never date a smoker.
I've once dated a guy whose parents smoked and that was bad enough.
The smell is very bad, especially for a non-smoker. Second-hand smoking is incredible unhealthy as well.
And I've heard that kissing someone who smokes is terrible because of the taste.I was raised by a heavy smoker. They stink. If they smoke indoors their home stinks. If they smoke in their car then it stinks too.
2. If they smoke say a pack a day it's expensive.
3. It's ruinous to their health. They age prematurely, run their teeth and everything else. I've already watched two people die of lung cancer. I'm not doing it again.their breath stink
you can never have fun without them being party crashers
they leave your house/car smelling like cigarettes
I can't stand second-hand smoking
but most of all I don't think anybody wants to be stuck with a person who has very poor health and may even look deterioratedHave you ever licked an ashtray? That is pretty much what it is like to kiss someone who has just put out a cigarette. If your boyfriend or girlfriend is a regular pack a day smoker the breath is just for starters. it gets in the clothes and hair and everywhere. I smoked for years and so did most of my exes. I can tolerate it on the clothes but I tell her to go brush her teeth or at minimum swig some mouthwash before coming back for a second kiss after smoking.
A lot, knowing the fact that you're dating a person who smokes is already addicted to that (from any kind). Their determination on getting a simple pack over anything else is something you should start to be getting concerned and their obsession over getting that pack in the terms of "whatever it takes".
Its an instant deal breaker for me.cigarette smoker? none, unless you're a smoker. bad breath, usually bad teeth too and they can smoke a lot esp when nervous/anxious
weed smoker? none, unless you're a smoker. on the bright side the users tend to smoke way less that tobacco smokers and it's not addictive, meaning they can quit or stop for as long as they want
