| Is smoking a turn-off for you?
Posted: 2/22/2006 6:54:18 AM | AMEN TO THAT! I totally agree with your statements.. I couldnt have said it better or any nicer. People are who they are and what they are.. doesnt make them bad or good. But in my opinion, I would have to say that is the worst turn off for me. I am sure i have something that is a turn off for women, like i love to romance my signifacant other, and sometimes i have been told i have done that too much. so, i am not perfect in any way, nor do i claim to be. But i know i am a great person and somewhere, sometime, i will meet the right person that loves me for who and what i am, and i will do the same with them.
Have fun and good luck with your ventures here to all.

Posted: 2/22/2006 8:32:37 AM | | Yes, I would never date someone who smokes, and this sounds, really hypercritical, since I smoke and I have been trying like hell to quit; it is a disgusting habit!!!, and I am ashamed of myself, for allowing this horrific habit to continue... | |

Posted: 3/8/2006 1:55:59 AM | Well I cannot imagine having passed up the guy who eventually became my husband simply because he smokes. Yes, it's a turn off in my book, but not so much of one I would not have anything to do with him.
Granted - he has to smoke the cigarettes outside and not in our home. But seeing as I am allergic to something in the smoke, that is just the way it has to be if he chooses to continue. | |

Posted: 3/8/2006 5:06:58 AM | I am an ex-smoker (the most critical) but I would date someone that smokes if they keep it to themselves...brush their teeth, smoke outside etc. This is something I would not consider sharing.

Posted: 3/10/2006 7:35:24 AM | | I've been a smoker for a while now, I normally don't date women that don't smoke. If they smoke occaisionally, i.e while drinking, then I'd see them. Personally though, I think a girl smoking a cigarette is sexy. It kinda has that fifties appeal that I dig, so I don't really mind that much. If I were to see someone that didn't smoke, I'd be so self conscious that my breath smelled that I'd spend all my money on gum and listerine. | |

Posted: 4/3/2006 6:07:28 PM | No matter how attractive a girl is, I am not interested in her if she smokes. It's one of the few absolute things that makes me lose interest. I've seen many physically attractive girls who smoke. As soon as I see them smoke, or realize they do, I lose interest instantly.
I think it is for several reasons:
1. I HATE the smell of cigarettes and it is on her clothes, in her hair and on her breath. YUK. And who wants to kiss that! Disgusting!!
2. I don't want to be near any cigarette smoke because it is unhealthy and I don't want to be with someone with whom I have this thing between us.
3. I believe that anyone who smokes is either extremely foolish, addicted to the nicotine and not able to stop, or has a death wish. I could not have a romantic interest in anyone that suffered any of these things.
4. Someone who smokes has an outlook on life and health that is so different from mine that I could never relate to them on a romantic level. | |

Posted: 4/4/2006 1:45:24 PM | OMG yes.......If you check out the profiles on this site you will find an astounding number of women who smoke....It amazes me with the knowledge we have today of the affects of smoking, you would think people would smarten up????
I too find that I find a woman who I find very attractive personality wise and physically but it turns out they smoke....I cannot believe the transformation that happens.....My attraction for that person completely changes.....this isn't something I try to have happen....it just does......so my message to women and men alike....if you don't quit smoking to save your life.....at least do it to improve your odds in the dating department!!

Posted: 4/4/2006 4:37:02 PM | I have to admit I agree pretty much with the OP........it is a total dealbreaker for me. Now, if it were truly a rare event, like maybe once a month, I could probably handle that, but in reality, most people aren't like that about nicotine.
I'm surprised to hear so many people find it as unattractive as I do. I realize it narrows my prospects.......and I'm ok with that. | |

Posted: 10/6/2006 1:13:53 PM | | Absolutely, it is!!! Thank God, they made it a "No Smoking Law" in the bars. I like to sing karaoke and open-mic and it's in the bar. I enjoy going now, because I no longer smell the smoke. I don't smoke and I would like to meet someone who doesn't either. | |

Posted: 10/6/2006 1:44:22 PM | | Don't think it's being judgemental just a personal preferance. I dislike vulgar language and if I'm on a first date with a man and the only adjective he uses is the "F" word I won't date him anymore. I don't like smoking either, don't like the smell etc... I think we are afraid of offending others in this age of being politically correct. It's all about personal standards. | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 1:09:08 AM | | There is a posting above saying that many of the women's profiles on here state that they smoke. So where are they? I have noticed that whenever I've done a search, about 90% of the profiles that come up are nonsmokers. I started smoking when I was 14 and continued for 17 years and then quit at the same time as my ex. Then 11 years later we divorced and my nerves were so shot that I took it up again. Stupid me. Wish to God that I could quit again but it's a lot easier said than done. I understand everyone's point of view here and I know it really places a lot of restrictions on my chances with women. I am considerate of those around me who don't and I wish I was one of them but it's an addiction that's very hard to break. | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 5:45:00 AM | | I've seen beautiful women -- we're talking A+ here, who smoked, and immediately I walked away. Smoking is a priority no go for me. You can be great, a great person, a saint -- but if you smoke, peeeeeeeeeeeace! I'll be gone. | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 4:31:29 PM | a little bit. When guys smell a little smoky it's kind of a turn on.
But then I get all turned off worrying about the fact that I smell bad to them from smoking.
Usually I find out their sense of smell is all messed up from smoking and they can't even tell that I was smoking.
Then we just smell bad together.
and that... is a turn on. | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 5:00:58 PM | Smoking the occasional cigar or pipe (not crack pipe LOL) is okay with me, but a chain smoker is a turnoff.
The worst thing about smokers isn't the smell but the lack of consideration for others. I get angry when I see smokers throwing their live cigarette butts out of their car windows. That's littering, folks, and that can cause a forest fire! Please, if you smoke use your car's ashtray to put your butts away! Our planet should not be your ashtray!!!!!!!!!! | |

I smoked for over 30 years, and got diagnosed with emphysema. I quit. | |

Posted: 11/10/2006 9:05:04 AM | | Yes, a total turn-off. It stinks and there's certainly nothing attractive about a woman with a cancer stick. | |

Posted: 11/10/2006 10:03:49 AM | its a huge huge HUGE turn off!
but i have personal reasons..I saw my mom waste away to bare bones with a glazed hurt look in her eyes wondering "why me?" then die in my arms from cancer. The man who embalmed her said he could tell she was in such pain. Her lungs were pitch black blobs of cancer.
So all you ladies go right ahead and smoke that sucker. .. then be prepared to cough up that awful goo.
and for men, my ex would always be on the porch smoking his ciggies then his joints .. come inside.. hack a few .. say hello and go back out. 
and smoking makes my oldest son cough.....
only smoke we like is the campfire kind | |

Posted: 11/17/2006 1:39:15 PM | | I absolutely loathe smoking. I mean, the idea of kissing someone who smells like smoke and tastes like smoke is a HUGE TURN OFF to me. I love the fact that bars in Ontario are now smoke free because I can go home at the end of the night still smelling like the perfume i put on at the beginning of the night. I have friends who smoke but as far as dating someone who smoked, I don't think I could unless they are willing to quit. | |
