Is smoking a deal breaker for you?

Question

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 · Answer

Yes, I really dislike it.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

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.

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 · Answer

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.

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 · Answer

Yup, that's a deal breaker. I have a sensitive nose when it comes to smoking, and I really the smell.

RingOfFire · Answer

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 · Answer

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!

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.

cosmosis181 · Answer

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.😒

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

Paul09 · Answer

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.
