Is smoking a deal breaker for you?

[Monalisa77]

I broke it off with someone who could potentially have been someone to go out with, due to the fact he smoked. Even tho he said hed not smoke in the house etc i just think id still be overly paranoid. I've a very sensitive nose aswell.

Yes

No

Interesting that more boys don't like smoking than girls, i always thought smoking was more of a male thing

[Adventurer23]

It's 100% a deal breaker for me. Smoking is repulsive. It not only looks disgusting, it smells 1,000 times worse. 🤢 I have a powerful sense of smell it's wretchedly overpowering. Nor do I want to hug, kiss or be intimate with someone who literally smells like the bottom of a bowling alley ashtray. 🤮 Not to mention, someone who doesn't care about their health isn't very appealing either. Sorry/not sorry, I make zero concessions about smoking. It's a huge nope for me, and is a massive turn-off.

[Adventurer23]

... Same goes for vaping. Just no.

[Adventurer23]

*and it's wretchedly overpowering

I'll speal here from point of friendship with guy smokers, as I don't have female friends.

I don't care if you smoke, but I need resepct. Such as smoke outside not indoors. Also, stand away please as the smell is just yuck. Plus, those who smoke 2 - 3 times an hours feels just too much.. their own choice but I feel they are usually short-tempered.

I don't actively distance myself from a smoker, as I had a close friend but one who always makes sure to ventilate the place or car when smoking, and may not even smoke and asks me if I'll be bothered.

He's a great guy all over. In relationships, I'll never date a smoker, neither will I accept my siblings marrying to one.

[TenderFantasy]

Yes! I do not want to get second hand smoking. I tried not having it as a deal breaker before and I learned my lesson!

Second hand smoke kills too. Eventually it will catch up with you. I already have a few health issues and allergies, I don't need more.

Case in point, my maternal grandmother died old but she also had lung cancer because of my grandpa who smoked.

RIP Grandma from the Philippines and Grandpa as well.

[Monalisa77]

My aunts and uncles got deaf cos of my granny who smoked

[Monalisa77]

Would it make a difference if they said they wouldn't smoke around u?

[PrincessBunBuns]

i smoke socially and recreationally, so not really. i smoke cigarettes when im drunk, i vape maybe every two months, and i smoke weed like four times a month.


HOWEVER, i won't date a pothead, and i won't date someone who smokes cigarettes everyday. to me, those sound like hobbies and bad habits which im uninterested in.

[OlderAndWiser]

Absolute deal breaker for me. When I was using online dating, I didn't even look at profiles of women who admitted that they smoke.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yes, I really dislike it.

[PeachyPie93]

I hate smokers.. When you are dating they don't want to go outside to smoke and their breath and taste in their mouth is disgusting. I don't get how in this day and age people still pick up smoking. It is such a dumb waste of money and it causes cancer.

[sawno]

Absolutely, in relationships but even as far as sexual attraction goes. I remember the prettiest girl in class in middle school (Our version of high school), she was even doing some contract work for a model agency and looked like an angel. One day as I cycled to the local gym for gymnastics class I saw she was already there, smoking a cigarette. Attraction was instantly gone.

[Kaneki05]

Would be a hypocrite if I said yes. Though I vape mostly cause it's better in every way and not that I bend to the will of fitting in but my generation are more accepting of vaping.
But it's still one of those things people get so worked up about.

[Monalisa77]

It affects my health quite badly, i didn't use to be as bothered

[Monalisa77]

I asked him if he vaped n it wasn't that id have been more accepting of that i think

[Kaneki05]

Well smoking lingers, vapour don't really. It does stick to dust minorly but it's nothing alike to how cigs smoke can actually still be harmful when it lingers.
So I would for sure say it should bother you less.
People have all kinds of health issues that are effected by smoking but not to vaping.

[exitseven]

I dated girls that smoked before. This was when it was a lot more popular and it seemed that most people smoked. I never really minded it but now that is is not popular and you hardly ever see smoke anymore I think it would bother me a lot more than it used to.

[Little_Bumblebee]

Yup, that's a deal breaker.

I have a sensitive nose when it comes to smoking, and I really the smell.

[RingOfFire]

I don't want to be with someone who has a habit that is dangerous for them even if they don't expose me to it directly. It shows that they have a lack of self-discipline and the will to overcome their bad habits. It also means I will have to deal with the negative consequences of their behavior.

The only exception might be if I otherwise thought highly of them and was convinced that they know they have problem and are taking REAL, PROACTIVE measures to break the unhealthy behavior.

[menina]

Yes. Smoking is an huge turn off for me. I wouldn't date someone who smokes.

Besides being unhealthy it's also disgusting. I can't stand the smell of cigarettes!

[Valdemort]

Yes.
Because it indicates a lack of respect for your body and the way you take care of yourself. That's a deal breaker for me.
Additionally, the smell is horrendous.

[Miristheiss]

Yes, I wouldn't have done anything long term with a smoker.

[Drumlin2001]

I think it would be, for a serious relationship anyway. I don't want that around my kids

[NathanDavis]

heavy smoking would be a nope, for me... just no compatibility there

[cosmosis181]

No, I'm not that judgmental of someone I don't even know... though I'm sure it is for many, and almost all of them go around proclaiming how "open minded" and "tolerant" they are. Uh huh, eiiiight.😒

[Monalisa77]

well i was starting to get to know him and was even potentially someone id like to have met. I've never claimed to be tolerant of smoking

[MemeSupreme]

no but i smoke lol not cigarettes altho i like the smell of them

[Monalisa77]

Ew gross

[MemeSupreme]

thanks lmfao

[IslaTheWitch]

For me, it is.

I'm quite sensitive to smells and I don't like the smell of cigarettes.
It's definitely unhealthy

[Nikki1989]

No, but people will find the most petty reasons to reject someone these days.

[Monalisa77]

I dont think ur health is a petty reason. I really liked this guy's

[Jessikaah91]

But it's their health and their life choice, not yours.

[Monalisa77]

it would affect my health being so close to someone who smokes, they can do as their please it doesn't mean i have to stand near them

[Jessikaah91]

Never said you need to stand right on top of them when smoking

[Monalisa77]

well we culd be in bed togetherwhen they choose to light up lol but im v sensitive i can smell it anywhere

[Jessikaah91]

Well if they had respect for you ask them to smoke outside or not right next to you.

[Monalisa77]

doesn't mean they wouldn't tho

[Monalisa77]

and i wouldstill smell it on them, where i go to play cards there's a few men who go outside to smoke and i can smell itwhen they come back in, its gross

[Jessikaah91]

Then don't be with a person who's disrespectful, but as a smoker, been smoking for a while now, if someone said to me they didn't feel comfortable with me smoking somewhere and asked if I could outside I would out of respect for the non smoker.

[Monalisa77]

i just couldnt risk it, and if they started smoking near me cos thy didn't care i would then be left heart broken , better to deal with those fall outs before it happened, as as side note, would u find out if the person didn't want kids as i dont, before dating them? i mean, as i said once he found out i didn't want any it would probably be over anyway

[jarkitor20]

Was with someone who smoked once and since then I knew it was a deal breaker
Tasting smoke when making out for 3 years was vile

[Monalisa77]

Thanks, makes me feel better lol

[jarkitor20]

Ye especially if you have a sensitive nose you wouldn't have had a good time w the guy

[HelpfulWoman]

Yes yes yes. its disgusting and smells god fucking awful

[LittleMelissa9614]

Yes, that is a deal breaker for me. No smoking or vaping for me.

[Paul09]

Cigarettes definitely a deal breaker. I can't handle it. The bad habit, the smell, the burning of money for what? To get a hit of nicotine. I only accept marijuana smoking.

[bolverk]

A woman smoking/vaping is an instant turn off as the stink is always there, and kissing them is worse.

[systemsareyo]

100 percent, as bad as vaping 😃😃😃 or any other bad habits

[douride2]

Smoking is a deal breaker I couldn't date or live with a smoker.

[Anonymous]

yes, I hate the smell. But in my place smoking is big and most people smoke. Most girls smoke and prefer smokers. Almost all dating app women info say, smoker. It's hard for me to get a date

[Monalisa77]

do umean work place? isn't it illegal to smoke in doors now?

[Opinion Owner]

Place means place of living. It's okay in here to smoke anywhere, public or indoors unless otherwise mentioned.

[dudeinohio]

Actually, statistically, more women in the USA smoke than men do.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Everyday weed or cigarettes are a turn off.

[verylovelyguy]

my standards are low but cigs just gross me out. smoking every day is a deal breaker

[KrakenAttackin]

No smokers, no vapers, no drug users, no heavy drinkers.

[Bendi21]

Smoking is the biggest red flag for me

[badkarma22]

Yes it is a deal breaker for me because i dont smoke and I hate the smell.

[LadyKitty]

I can't stand the smell of cigarettes etc.

[EmmaMary]

An absolute 100% deal breaker.

[Unit1]

Dealbreaker. No smoking for me.

[Jamie05rhs]

Absolutely. I can't stand cigarettes.

[chilldude33]

it's a turn off for sure

[noohair]

Smoking is an addiction and gross too.

[jahaims]

Yeah

[jahaims]

More males smoke than females. Smoking is more masculine than it is feminine, so it makes sense.

[Monalisa77]

But more males say its a deal breaker

[jahaims]

Because it is masculine, like I said. Females doing masculine things is a turn-off to most males

[Monalisa77]

Anyone can smoke tho

[jahaims]

Anyone can fist fight, but that doesn't mean fighting isn't masculine.

[Miah04]

Yes.

[Danny_dan92]

Cigarettes? Yes

[LavLavLuv]

YES🚭

[sirderpsalot123]

Yeah

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. Damn gross.

[renodnol32]

Nope.

[dinojames22]

Yep.
