| Ok to ask your smoking partner to brush their teeth before kissing?
Posted: 5/25/2008 3:27:25 PM | | smoking=dealbreaker.............seem to make a lot friends lately that smoke tho, and yet they themselves seem more in tune with the discomfort thier habit is to nonnys.......gum,brushing, etc. doesn't do away with the gassing off.........my advice, and this comes from a lifetime of not smoking, don't get involved with a smoker......done both and the smoke always was intolerable after awhile....... | |

Posted: 5/25/2008 3:32:15 PM | [You telling him to brush his teeth every time before kissing you (assuming he's a heavy smoker) is going to get really old, really fast. And he's going to resent you for this.
So are you willing to hurt his ego and cause some resentment for the foreseeable future?]
And you think all men will react this way? What kind of men do you meet??? | |

Posted: 5/25/2008 3:34:33 PM | I smoke and I am not stopping for anyone. If a friend, a date etc wants to tell me to stop well they can, you know what because I am me. I do not however smoke around kids, in the house of my non smoking friends and I brush my teeth after every cigarette when at home. If I go out and smoke, I use gum or mints.
I would think there is nothing wrong with asking him to brush before he kisses you but doing this is public is not possible. Who wants to go to a pub's bathroom and bursh their teeth. They just look like they have a bad case of OCD. So just offer him a gum before you kiss him and if it is that big of a deal, it will kill the relationship. So maybe you should be dating a nonsmoker, that is your right as a nonsmoker yourself.

Buy him a toothbrush and some "smokers' toothpaste."
Get him a tongue scraper to get rid of the tongue bacteria.
Get a big bottle of antiseptic mouthwash.
Tell him to use it.
Rinsing with a baking soda solution helps, too.
Tell him to take care of his teeth and his mouth, or you aren't interested.
He might appreciate the concern, if he has a brain in his head.
If it hurts his precious feelings, dump him and find a real man who appreciates you. | |

Posted: 5/26/2008 4:50:45 PM | | Ummm no it's not rude frankly the rude part is kissing with nasty teeth/breath honestly i havent come across too many women who dont brush regularly but the ones who needed a reminder id normally say after breakfast oh looks like something is in ur teeth u should go brush it out or say at night wow dinner must have had lots of garlic those sorts of things honestly ive always loved at the beginning or end of the day brushing my teeth next to my partner in the bathroom especialy trying to make eachother laugh with toothpaste in eachothers mouth :) makes for fun times ! | |

But definately discuss it with him because if any man who smokes finds a woman that does not smoke who wants to be with him then he should be sensitive to her desires, and no one wants to kiss an ashtray. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 1:47:10 PM | | No. You should insist on it. After a while it becomes second nature. Being a smoker myself, I would never even consider kissing a women unless I brushed my teeth and gargled shortly beforehand. Even if she didn't care I would still insist. | |

There are some really good breath freshner strips on the market. Try taking one yourself, and then casually passing one to him. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 2:08:04 PM | I'm a smoker and If I were with someone who did not smoke I would definitely have no problem with them telling me to pop a mint or something when we are home or even out. I'm not too keen on the giving the guy a toothbrush idea but some of those breath strips is a good idea. And there is nothing wrong with asking him if he would brush his teeth either, just don't give him the brush. It's jsut something to talk to him about.
Good luck to you. | |

I'm a smoker who has OCD about smelling/tasting like smoke! After I smoke I use hand sanitizer & breath spray. I love to kiss and would hate for the person i'm kissing to taste my cig!
You could try breath strips (as someone suggested). Communicate with him that you enjoy kissing him but you don't like the taste after he smokes. | |
