Never did want a smoker, but it happened anyway. Luckily he’s not one of those that stinks of cigarettes, where his hair, clothes and breath is concerned!
Can’t complain anyway, as I’m a stress smoker and there’s been a lot of that lately!

I'm fine with him smoking occasionally but would pressure him to stop because of potential health issues

Smoking is an instant turnoff for me, so yes, I'd reject or lose interest in someone if they're a smoker.
I don't smoke, nor do I want to be exposed to second hand smoke.
When I was younger, I tried dating a smoker... it did not work out. He even tried to quit because he knew it bothered me (no, I didn't ask him to quit; he did it on his own). However, he wasn't motivated enough to stick with it and went back to smoking... which yes, that's his prerogative. But I certainly didn't like kissing or being near him when he smelled like cigarettes.I assume that smoking is a sign of low IQ. Total turn off for me.
Smoking is an instant dealbreaker.
I won't date a smoker. That is my hardest of hard limits and one of the few things I'd consider an absolute deal breaker. Most of the people I have ever loved have died of lung cancer or other smoking related illnesses. Also I have had cancer that resulted from years of involuntary exposure to second hand smoke. I never smoked myself. I have one remaining lung and chronic breathing problems including asthma. I also have developed an allergy to nicotine so I would need an epi pen if I accidently kissed a smoker or one touched my mucus membranes.
Here's the thing. I will not date a woman that smokes a lot. I don't like the taste of cigarettes or the smell. And it's kind of a turn off.
I know women that smoke get very stressed when they don't and that tells me they develop a strong dependency on things, and that can be destructive to a relationship, and it can be good for a relationship too, but I'd personally rather not deal with that.
I worry about if I'm going to lose somebody down the road. I don't play games I play for keeps. If I get in a relationship I want to keep the relationship, and I have had to say goodbye too many times with deaths and other problems in life. I want something that will last forever. Some women want their cigarette to last foreverYes. That's instantly a no for me. Mostly from seeing my father struggle with smoking and having a difficult time helping him stop, eventually he did. But seeing that made me really dislike smoking so I vowed to never smoke, till this day never have. So if I was thinking of dating someone it would make me not pursue because that shows bad habit and make me feel like you don't care about your health. I also workout a lot and eat clean so I'm big on health and would want someone that can match that.
I wouldn't date a smoker. I would dislike it if a girl I was into smoked tobacco or vaped, but it'd be a dealbreaker if she was a stoner, smoking weed. That speaks more to her character flaws (in my opinion) than merely bad habits. Bad habits are fine if you're trying actively to break them, but most stoners I know not only avoid breaking their bad habits of getting high, but actually celebrate them! That'd be like me being happy I was overweight and trying to gain even more weight, as opposed to the reality of trying to reduce my weight. In other words, I think stoners are losers.
Personally I don't give s damn what or how others live their lives, is they're to do so as they choose, and personally I don't smoke and have no interest in being with a woman that does my choice, sand I don't give a damn how fine she is I rather a longer life with out the smell of cigarettes, we have to respect others for how they live their lives and choices they make, we have the choice to either be involved with them or not that's true freedom that's our God given right not man's
If I rejected girls who smoked when I was young and in places like Tokyo, I'd have to reject like 85% of girls. It is very rare to find a girl who doesn't smoke in Japan at least in the sort of places I hung out. My wife is one of the rare ones though.
I didn't mind it so much as long as it's not like chainsmoker. If a girl lights up a cig here and there like when she's at a bar, I didn't mind it.For me yes. My girl now only smokes 1-2 cigarettes of a very specific brand that is light and only does it once in awhile. That's low enough for me to be unbothered. She's amazing and this is something small I can overlook.
But if she was a heavy smoker it would be a problem and probably would not have gotten together with her.I know one too many people who smoke and too many who are second hand smokers , and I absolutely cannot take the smell. It's a complete turnoff and dealbreaker for me.
There is no circumstance in life where I would ever date a smoker. None. He could be THE most attractive man in life, and I would pass. My aunt used to smoke and I remember going out of town to visit her with family and getting violently ill just being in her house and in her car that were just permeated with years of cigarette smoke. It got so bad that every trip after, we have always booked a hotel and rented a car just to avoid being there. I can't live a life without fresh air and lungs.
Weed yes cigs no , just cause I quit a few years ago and I would end up influenced to smoke
Yes i personally will not ever b with a smoker bc first i cannot stand the smell at all and the addiction can b passed on- plus second hand smoke which i would b inhaling if around him is even more dangerous for us than them. So no plus you can tell when a person is a smoker they reeks of smoke
One of the biggest turn-offs for me (and many other men) is a woman who smokes. I've dated one whom I later found out happened to be a smoker. They always smell like it and kissing them was even worse. Glad I experienced it myself considering it only reinforced my belief to not want to date a smoker.
I don't like it in a woman. But it can be complicated if you fall for someone who doesn't smoke and get into a deep relationship and then one day they start chain smoking - yeah, it happens.
I also don't agree with government trying to ban people from smoking almost everywhere since cars put out way worse pollution than cigarettes and we don't ban them from rolling down residential streets or idling near restaurants.I have never thought about it. I have never smoked in my life and I’m also a teetotaller. I don’t like alcohol because it ruins relationships. Smoking doesn’t cloud judgement but can damage health, cause premature death and if done at home it can harm me and my kids if we get married and have kids so I guess I would prefer a non-smoker. I do want to live a long and fulfilled life with my future husband.
For me it depends. I'd prefer a person who doesn't smoke, but I wouldn't turn someone immediately down because they smoke.
My ex did it occasionally, and I asked her to stop doing that because I didn't want her to get addicted to it, but if you find someone who has been smoking for years, who are you to ask them to stop...I don't judge smokers but wouldn't date one. If the girl can't quit smoking, I would leave immediately. The reason being that she doesn't value her life. How would she value mine?
It's a negative but not an out and out deal breaker.
Habits can change. I've known people who gave up smoking. My mother is one.
I cannot understate how much respect I have for anyone who has been able to give it up.
So yeah, I'll date someone who smokes, but I would encourage them to quit.
