Would you try to stop smoking for the right relationship? Would you try putting up with someone who smokes for the right relationship?Are is it best to just try to find someone that smoke if you smoke or maybe wait until you find someone that don't smoke.Just like drinking or doing drugs.I don't drink and if a doc don't give me meds. I want take them.

The flipside is that if I really like a person the drink or smoke weed. I would try by best to help them stop.

Smoking is a personal choice.

I woke up from a shoulder surgery & could not stand to smoke anymore.

A person smoking would NOT stop me from associating with anyone.

I have dated ladies that smoked & to be totally truthful, smelling smoke in a ladies hair, reminds me of my wife. Those memories are good.

I would do all I could to SUPPORT anyone wanting to stop smoking.

I did read a study about female body chemistry, makes it harder for females to quit then males. Know wife tried many times.

Non-smoker here with a heavy smoker.
But he takes it outside, and in fact,
I have never even smelled it on him,
he takes great care to minimize the
effects on others :-)

No problem.

So many times a man will say they like everything about you but they just don't want to date a smoker. as the conversation goes on I find they have beer everyday. I'm not a real beer drinker and don't like the smell of that. what's the difference between 1 habit and the other habit? just because we smoke doesn't make us bad people. give us a reason to quit and I mean other than negative reasons be the positive reason we want to quit then support us enough said

Having started smoking as a teenager, Professor Robert West managed to kick the habit while at university, on a girlfriend's urging. He has gone on to devote his 30-year career to discovering what works when it comes to giving up smoking. Heading a team of researchers at University College London, he has one aim: to find better ways of helping smokers who want to stop.
''There is a lot of stuff out there: Allen Carr, Paul McKenna, numerous websites'' says West. ''But what smokers don't have is the real story of the best ways of stopping, from the billions of pounds worth of research that has actually been done.''
Instead of suggesting just one sure-fire way to quit, West discusses the many things that can help someone forgo the fags: electronic cigarettes, nicotine replacement therapy, professional support, and so on. With other positions West currently holds, including co-director of the NHS Centre for Smoking Cessation and a board member of QUIT, he is one of the leading experts in the field.
