Does smoking matter to you in a relationship? Would not get involved with someone because they do or do not smoke? Would you quit smoking if your partner asked you to?

I wouldn't quit because he asked me too. I would only quit for me....not others. plus he would know before that I smoke.

I'm a smoker - he'd have to be a smoker too or not care that I do.

I smoke. I have dated people who smoke. But if I'm dating someone who doesn't smoke, I'm very respectful and don't smoke around them. Its like an excuse to smoke less. I would quit smoking for the right person (I want to quit anyway) but I would need help and that support

I am not a fan of smoking. However, the last person I went on a date with did smoke and it didn't bother me enough to not want to see him again. So, it would not stop me from dating someone. I'd never ask someone to quit, as they need to quit for themselves, not for someone else.

well said

i used to smoke.
smoking is not a big deal to me.
i would not quit for someone, you gotta wanna quit for yourself

Would their wanting you to quit be motivation enough for you to want to do so?

Most definately. I have been quit for about six years. When I go to my dads house and come home I stink. Would not want that around me all the time.

doesnt matter to me

my x and I tried to go this route. i stayed quit, she didnt. you gotta want it for you, not for anyone else

I will not get in a relationship with any one who smokes,does drugs,or drinks.

Good topic, I smoke and although I would like to quit, I havent beaten that demon yet. I would quit for me, as it should be, but encouragement never hurt.

I usually look for women who do smoke just because Ive met enough that dont smoke and arent willing to look further than the end of a lit cigarette.

I smoke. I've dated both smokers an non-smokers. I'm respectful when it comes to non-smokers. I don't make smokin or non-smokin a requirement in choosin who I date. If a man chooses not to date me because I smoke, well that's his choice an he may just have missed out on a great woman

I smoke & it's hard to find someone of interest that smokes, I believe lots of women don't contact me because of it.. oh well.

Oddly enough, you have said that perfectly WolfEyez!
I have been a smoker for more than half my life. It is not a Choice for me by now... it is an addiction.

DATING can be a Nerve-WRECKING experience at times... Making you more cautious of your own personal habits... and just How they might be being perceived by the one that you are interested in... Does my A$$ look too big in these Jeans? Did I just "Snort" instead of Laugh?! Awe Hell... Did I just Insult someone unwittingly?!? How does that Make me look in His Eyes Now?!?!?

Or How about after a wonderful Meal? Is there anything more satisfying than a Smoke, a Good Cup of Coffee and (hopefully) more Fantastic Conversation for Dessert?!

What about the After-Fantastic-Sex-Cigarette? Wondering if you're not going to get any more (at least Kissing) for the evening because now you taste like an ash tray...

These are the things I think about when Dating a Non-Smoker. It is a Habit that I wish was NOT a part of who I am right now... but unfortunately... for the moment... it still is.

When I am dating a non smoker I feel the Exact same way You do WolfEyez. I don't WANT to Smoke around them! If he is Cool and doesn't FUSS about my need for that 1 Cigarette (instead of the maybe 2-3 that would usually be enjoyed) that means he takes me for who I am - Flaws and all. That Makes my Desire to Smoke both around him, and in general Less... And THAT makes me Feel Excellent!! If this Guy is the Correct Motivation to help me Quit Smoking... well then Hell Yeah!!!


On the Other hand... If he is a Freakin Wuss about something that is a part of me, and Constantly Nags and Makes me feel like a Loser... Forgettabouttit. Bring me to the store you Jerk... so I can buy myself another Carton!

i don't smoke but i don't care just no smoking in my cars

I'd date a smoker but long term i'd like the person to quit smoking because mostly i'd want them to be healthy and live as long as possible with me I would be patent

Bingo! It'll kill ya. That much I know.

But, I do it. I must have a frickin neon sign above my head blinking.."you are an idiot"
