Is smoking really a deal breaker for you?

Question

Even though a lot of girls say they won’t date a smoker in reality I see tons of them getting dates all the time. A lot of these guys don’t hide he habit either. It’s pretty obvious they smoke.

Maybe most of those types of girls who date smokers just aren’t on gag?

Yes it’s a deal breaker. If you smoke, no dates with me

No if their overall personality is fantastic I can handle their smoking habit

Only if they promise to quit and actually do will I date a smoker

My boyfriend is a smoker, I don't particularly enjoy kissing him after he's lit one up, but he treats me too well, in & out of the sack, for me to make it a deal breaker. Normally he's good about rinsing his mouth out because he knows I don't like the taste on his lips & tongue.
I grew up in a smoke free INSIDE the house household, so long as he smokes outside, just like I ask of everyone else, even family, who smokes & comes over my house. He respects that I don't like cigarettes being smoked in the house, which in turn has helped him cut back on his smoking, which he claims to be trying to quit.
We had a great run of marathon sex & I had commented on how good it was he gave me a cheeky look & asked, "Good enough to have my after sex cigarette here in bed with you?"
I smiled, laughed & told him, "Not that good" & gave him an unrealistic expectation that would make him smoking inside my house a reality.

But I understand his need to do it, so I don't pester him too much on cutting back or quitting, because doing so too much tends to make people buckle down.

It's an instant dealbreaker for me: no exceptions! I tried to date a smoker years ago when I was younger- and in hindsight, he knew I hated smoking and even tried to quit because he knew it bothered me. But I kid you not, a few days later, he was back to smoking again :|

It's like kissing an ashtray!!! NO. He doesn't have to quit, but he won't be dating me, haha.

At one time everyone thought it was cool to smoke and on all the movies in the 50's and 60's people are smoking and you can notice their brown teeth. You can smell smoke on their clothes and in their house, not to mention their breath. Second hand smoke itself can cause cancer even if you don't smoke. And if a woman smokes while pregnant it can affect the fetus with possible learning disabilities. Who, but another smoker, wants to kiss an ash tray? Plus I would hope the person I would marry would stick around until old age so I would have no interest in a smoker.

I have quite a few friends who smoke. Male and female. Yes it's a little bit of a deal breaker. Although is sounds lame, I want to live a long life. I want to have good body, eat good food, drink a little wine and live until 95. I'm also attracted to athletic guys who like working out and playing sports, so far, not one smoker. It looks cool, but it's not.

I did have one boyfriend who smoked cigars with his friends on special occasions, like on his birthday and new years. Although I didn't understand it, I didn't have a problem with it, mostly because of his personality. Because if one day he decided to never smoke again, he could easily do that without hesitation, so it didn't make me nervous. I have a good male friend who smoke a lot, he always says, oh I'm not addicted but when he comes over, every couple hours we have to go outside to smoke. It's denial and lying. That's the worst, that's a real dealbreaker. I couldn't date someone like that.

Well, I truthfully avoid dating smokers. I smoke cigars on occasion, but never at home and I know they stink.
If you date a smoker, they HAVE to smoke indoors in inclement weather and they'll stink up your house, your sofa, your bed and you.
When you kiss them, they taste like tobacco. This tastes awful to a person not ALSO smoking cigarettes.
I don't see how it'll ever work out.

Hmmm... yeah it kind of would be. I don’t want my significant other to have a bunch of health problems later on :/. Especially if it’s something that he can easily avoid. I don’t wanna worry about them 😓 also it fucking smells like straight up shit XD. And it’s a huge turn off.

I actually do not know if smoking is actually a dealbreaker for me cause my priorities are different. But yes i have found it really hot when this guy was staring at me while he smoked. Maybe it's that gangsta vibe or something. But i hate the smell of cigarettes. I have to hold my nose alk the time when i even get a small sniff. So i don't think i will be able to bear the smell

It don’t bother me at first coz I had a boyfriend who smokes a lot but I’d say his breathe stank and when we kiss I can still taste the nicotine even after he brushed his teeth. I realize it may look cool for some people during their early years until they get old and started to get sick. My aunt died of a lung cancer not because she smoke but because of a second hand smoke. Her husband is a smoker.

Yes, it's a deal breaker for me. I wouldn't go on a date with a smoker, besides being unhealthy is disgusting. Plus I have asthma so I can't be near people who smoke.

I think smoking is disgusting, but it's my partner's choice if he smokes. So even though I won't like it much, I'll leave him be if that's what he wants to do.

No, but I'd definitely try and subtly convince him to make better choices.

Not really. I’d prefer that they don’t do it because of lung cancer and respiratory issues but I wouldn’t break up with someone because they smoke.

No. I can deal with smoke to some extent. None in my home, and then I also need someone who can sit through a dinner at a restaurant without going out to smoke. So disrespectful and no control of a habit when one cannot take a few hours break.

My partner is a smoker he used to do it heavily or whenever he’s super stressed but he’s now only smoking socially. I have no problems with smokers as long as they don’t smoke near me
