Do you think smoking is a deal breaker?
Do u think it's important for choosing ur partner or breaking up?
If it matters to YOU, it matters and it matters right now. Unless you're 100% certain you've met the ONLY woman you ever want to be with, at age 16, why get involved with a smoker if it turns you off? You can't rely on the hopes she'll stop smoking just because she likes you if you end up dating. Find a non smoker.
Yes. I'm a child of parents who smoked. As a result, I have health problems that have been traced directly back to that fact.
I don't ever want to spend time in a cloud of tobacco smoke ever again, and will NEVER give a smoker so much as a single date.
That's an instant dealbreaker for me! I don't smoke and don't want to be around, or kiss a smoker.
Yes that's their right. Just like it's my right not to date one.
Smoking is no big deal for me. Everyone has their habits I'm not gonna turn away a great person just because they smoke

I used to think it is a deal-breaker. But now I think more of the progress of quitting and that he don't smoke when he is with me.
At end of our first date, he wanted to smoke while we waited for the bus. I told him "Enjoy your puff, I will be 3 metres away".
At the end of our second date, we were walking along the smoking area, he pulled me to the other side, using his body as a barrier from the smoke (ya, he towers over me).. That was when he said "I am going to cut the number of sticks and eventually quit because of you"
2 months into official BF/GF status... he has cut from 7 sticks a day to 4 sticks. That is progress...
I smoke weed so I would consider it a Pro, I’d love to just be able to relax and smoke with someone again :).
I agree. Smoking weed is way better with company!
You don't want to risk it? Then tell me, what are the health risks associated with smoking weed? Here, let me give you a hand:
www.webmd.com/.../is-marijuana-safe-web
www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana
Also, weed is less addictive than caffeiene, so if you're worried about addiction, don't be.
Heard bad things? Like what?
Who knows if the article is accurate? Oh jeez. Well it is written by doctors, since those are both websites run by doctors, so I would assume it's accurate. Tell me, do you trust doctors?
@Salim28 what do doctors say is harmful about smoking weed?
www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana
www.webmd.com/.../is-marijuana-safe-web
Go read what doctors say about weed
Like what?
I'm asking because most people who say weed is harmful dont know anything about weed. So either be specific, or I'm assuming you don't know anything about weed.
Uhmm... wut? I linked you to websites that are run by doctors, not weed dispensaries.
They're lying? Jesus, well whats the point in me getting evidence if you think everyone is lying?
Like, you know that fruit is actually unhealthy for us, right? They just lie so they can sell more fruit, lots of profit. *sarcasm*
Weed is good for memory and brain function when used in moderation. Weed affects a part of the brain called the cannabinoid receptor, which plays a part in regulating sleep, hunger, emotions, and memory, thc is a cannabinoid, and its the chemical that gets you high. Out bodies also naturally produce cannabinoids, thats why we have a cannabinoid receptor.
If used too heavily during teen years it can cause some issues, for example smoking for 20 years can cause a drop in iq of 8 points. Most health risks require very heavy usage though.

"Bro, think wisely, coffee is actually poison! They wanna sell coffee and they lie about it! Things like how it can make you more energetic snd reduce the risk of Parkinson's, such bs! They just want to make a lot of money, and they do, just look at the owner of starbucks, getting rich from poisoning people.
@Salim28 by that logic you have to assume that doctors are always lying, they are working with the fruit companies when they say that fruits are healthy for us.
Why do you think it's poisonous or unhealthy? I'm being sarcastic when I mention fruit, but it's the same argument because you haven't provided any evidence, you just say that doctors lie and that you think that weed is dangerous. Why do you think it's dangerous? Please answer this question.
If you assume doctors lie about weed then you need to assume they lie about other things. So I guess you don't trudt doctors?
I've read it in some sites. I really don't remember them but I've read about it.
And one thing is that I don't mean doctors always lie I just say it's POSSIBLE. They can use doctors as a means to advertise their products. Advertisements are all lies. U must have seen lots of advertises about cakes biscuits icecream and something like that. When u watch them on TV they look like something came from heaven but when u get it, it's not even a bit similar to what they show on TV.
That's what I'm talking about. It might be just advertise right?
Its not an advertisement, it is a health website run by the government and webmd is run by doctors. They aren't websites devoted to weed, they focus on medical analysis and they did studies on weed. You do need to assume all doctors are liars if you think these are lies. It is government run and doctor run, it isn't a weed dispensary trying to pay people to make themselves look good. Utterly ridiculous, but I'm done with this pointless argument, you clearly want to stay ignorant.
Now you're just showing off your ignorance. I am not trying to force anyone to smoke weed, I am simply trying to get you to reconsider whether or not weed is dangerous. You say weed is dangerous, but I've done a lot of research, and yes there are some health risks if you use it long term, but you can't even name what the risks are, which tells me you know nothing about weed. You're just an ignorant bastard who heard that weed was dangerous and decided it must be true. Let me guess, you watched reefer madness and now you have nightmares?
Deal breaker.. One of the main reasons that's making me question our relationship.. He's promised that he'd try his best to quit and gullible me believed him instantly. Until he sent a pic of what he was holding and there was cigarette ash on his lap.. I don't think he has ever felt remorse when he lights a stick.. He even took that pic when we were talking on the phone.
If I'd known before hand that he smokes, I wouldn't have had started talking to him. No one smokes in my family although my dad did come from a smoking family. Thankfully my dad never saw the fun in it.
My grandfather died because of it. We took care of him when he was really, really weak and sickly. He had a tube in his esophagus and you'd hear him wheezing. He died silently in his sleep while we were quietly having dinner.
No, but to be fair I'm a smoker. My main reason is simply that it seems like something I shouldn't be able to decide on. Like why should I decide whether or not my partner is allowed to drink alcohol? Why should she be allowed to decide for me?
Kissing someone who has just smoked a cigarette is the worst thing in the world. That’s all I have to say on the matter
For hook ups not at all. For a relationship it's a big dealbreaker yeah
I smoke but thats not me. that's what I do. if any lady loves me less for being a smoker. the door is wide open.
Really, some lots define you by what you do. I had a girl tell me we couldn't be together just because I smoke. I got really pissed
Absolute deal-breaker for me. As are any illegal drugs (including prescription drugs used recreationally).
I would never choose a smoker as a mate. I wouldn’t even crush from a distance on a guy who smoked.
Total deal breaker for me and probably most non-smokers. Ewww.
It most certainly is a deal breaker to me. That goes for both nicotine and marijuana.
You gotta try marijuana though. don't know about nicotine..
Would depend on the relationship I was looking for. If it’s a hookup, then I don’t care. If it’s for a long term relationship then I wouldn’t want to date a smoker
that's everyones individual decision. for me smoking is a hard deal breaker. if you smoke, i won't date you. no exceptions.
Deal breaker, smoking stinks everything up even your cloths. Even just being around someone smoking stinks up your hair, cloths, furniture, everything.
Yes. I can't envision permitting my relationships to have smoking happening in them. Smoking is disgusting habit and has no place to enter our temples, which we ought to protect and honor God with.
It tastes awful as a nonsmoker when I kiss a girl who just finished a cigarette
Honestly I hate the smell of cigarettes. If my partner/ boyfriend was using it, he will be my ex lol
Yes, because their habits and behaviors affect you. It’s a deal breaker for me too, I don’t want to get lung cancer from my SO smoking around me all the time.
I'm fine with someone smoking but I'm not buying there stuff
Absolutely not. I think it's ok. Rather not all the time tho.
