Is that better than having it surgically removed??

I am a considerate smoker, I won't light up around a non-smoker if requested. But when someone outta the blue that doesn't know me says I shouldn't smoke. I say mind ur business an I'll mind mine. H*ll at least that's my only 'bad' habit.

They just might be believing that they are so great of a package that any women would be willing to quit just to be with them...
I teeter on the edge of saying it's ok that I don't think I'm all that but often wonder if I should be more aggressive in my approach. I've often admired that some people can be so full of themselves that they approach anyone, shamelessly and just rattle off some line that sometimes works...

I'm rambling,,, nevermind...

Holy crap!
You're a smoker?
-holds up crossed fingers at you-

I tell 'em to quit driving their vehicle that emits noxious fumes, and to quit working in that factory that spews sh!t into the air, THEN I might CONSIDER it!

-walks to the window and opens it all the way-
-mumbles-
"damned smokers"
cough cough

I don't think your smoking is so much the issue as it is the man realizing that he's never going to be able to get your attention and admiration on his own merit, so he needs to come up with something that will indeed get your interest, and make it somehow your fault that he doesn't measure up.

I smoke and it's hard to find women that do.; That is one of my criteria.

I'll gladly turn the ceilin fan on an light a few candles if it's botherin ya that bad.

Huh?


Looks like a combination of spit and smoke coming out,,, lol

Thankfully I don't give my cigs the full lip press when smokin 'em

I could care less if a person chooses to smoke or not; their health, their environment, their money.

But if they are sending me mail I will tell them they are not a match if they are a smoker. Most times I will not elaborate why. But if they ask, or whine about never meeting people who care about them, then that card goes on the table. I am sorry if it hurts their feelings but many times it is the only negative I see in a profile. I will assume a "no answer" as someone who does.

As a smoker in my teens/early 20's I understand the habit. and how difficult it is to break, but enduring several miscarriages, dental problems, and watching five family members die of smoking related cancers I didn't like my odds and have managed to stay off nicotine over the years. I am sure that would not happen if I dated and or got serious with a smoker as a companion.

Maybe smokers would rather just guess why they are being rejected?

Personally if there was one thing about me, that I could change, that would affect my odds as radically as smoking seems too I think I would want to know.

I do think people could show a little manners about it. It is a legal thing to do; at least in a few places.

I do think smokers get discriminated against in many ways they may not even realize. Work, houseing, friendships, medical care, and others.

Hey..I smoke...but like Clinton..I don't inhale.

I just wish those non smokers would quit perving me with their clean lungs. It gives me the creeps!!!

Isn't it more of a sh*t when they nudge / email you
Either they didn't read your profile or they're fronting on theirs ...

too bad you smoke, or i was going to reply to this thread

I used to smoke two packs a day

but since I had my left lung removed I've cut my smoking in half
