| Smokers: Would you quit smoking for your dreamboat?
Posted: 4/25/2006 11:43:28 AM | Well I've been trying to quite completely for about a month.....not easy at all.....
Its always easier if you have a goal, or someone special to quite for, like your child and/or the luv of your life....Incentives can help....especially a dreamboat who wouldnt?
Really if your honest with yourself something that huge and special as a dreamboat especially if its what you always wanted.....
But I really think quiting for the righ reason is always the best way...and your health and everyone around you....what better reasons then that...and if you want to throw in the DREAMBOAT I am sure it would help secure my success in this not so easy habit to quite.......
PS....Any tips woould be welcome......Thanks | |

You can't quit smoking for someone else.
Completely disagree. I've done it. In fact if you have an understanding partner - they can even make it easier. Theres nothing like a bit of support and encouragement along the way. | |

Posted: 4/26/2006 4:29:20 AM | I wouldn't have to ask anyone to quit as I won't date smokers. Eliminates the question completely. Hate the smell in my house, in the air in general, on their clothes, in their hair, on their breath.... Don't really go out much because of it. I get a call every month from some old friend asking that I get back into music and play with their band every other weekend. Won't do it because I don't want to be in the bar for 5 hours smelling and breathing that smoke. Don't need the money that bad, and don't do anything I don't enjoy, and while I would enjoy playing again I wouldn't enjoy that smokey atmosphere. I play once a year when my old band does a reunion show and that is usually at an outside venue. And when it IS inside it's in a fairly fancy club that is well ventillated.
To the posted who said she didn't know of anyone who died from second hand smoke. Because you don't know of anyone doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And as far as the cancer comment, yes, there are MAY documented cases of non smokers contracting lung cancer from working in heavy smoke environments like bars.
Smokers put down non-smokers saying we are infringing on their rights. Why do you not see that the reverse is also true? | |

It seems to me some would give up smoking for such a person ... others would not, but on the other hand, they might be willing to give up something else that might "bother" their dreamboat just as much!
People make choices for their own reasons ... I would give up smoking for my dreamboat, but I would need a "substitute" for the smoking.
I heard that sex is a good substitute for smoking.   | |

Posted: 4/26/2006 6:29:04 AM | | I quit smoking while she continued. Didn't smoke for three years. During that time I gained 85 pounds, became very moody, and very judgemental. Turned into a workaholic to keep my mind busy. Needless to say, she didn't like what I turned into and found...you guessed it, another smoker. Pros and cons, if you love a person for what they are, don't have them change...society will eventually do it for you. | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 2:27:51 PM | | I'm not a smoker but, I honestly do not want a guy who smokes. It seems like some smokers don't realize how annoying their smoking can be(ex.smell, and taste when kissing,and damnit..their health!,lol) . I have been talking to this guy who smokes, but we haven't met yet, so far he's cool and very funny...so I'm overlooking the smoking right now, so when we meet and if we hit it off I guess I can tolerate it...for a little while, as long as he's respectable. But I don't know if I can deal with some one who loves smoking so much that they don't plan on quitting, he didn't tell me this, I'm just saying. Does anyone know of a subtle way to convince or help someone quit smoking, and making them believe that they wanted to quit on their own? So they won't think you are pressuring them to quit? or is this even possible? all advice welcome. | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 2:32:31 AM | I have known woman who hid / lied / concealed facts about smoking to
enter into a relationship thinking that after things were going along smooth
The smoking issue would slip away ...(maybe between the sheets)
for me this plan never succeeded and the relationships ended
when the first butt -Was lit within my site....
I do give credit to those who lay it all out,, tell the truth of the habit
and desires up front to quit for your "dreamboat"
It takes courage to make and stick to the decision,, As it is a serious addiction
much more than willpower will be needed to survive.
Faith,, and help from friends and family is a good start--
As mood swings occur the NEW (dreamboat) may be confused as to
Who this person of his/her affection really is --- patience is required here...
In my case I was the child of a 2 pack a day Mother,,,I remember when pregnant with my sister her sending me to the store to buy the cigarettes (& chips) I was 4 years old..
(this was 40+ years ago in NYC and although everyone knew each other idea and distance would be absurd or even neglect in todays world.)
Thank God she quit when I was 13 ---over 30+ years ago now (and she is very much alive)
However (and not her fault at the time) I did develop ALL the respiratory & health
issues associated with second hand smoke and children of smokers
From Allergies to Bronchitis ....& more
Fast Forward to today --- I have been blessed with a little 
My daughter to care for 7/24 as many of you know she was extremely premature
and yet a miracle on her survival and progress..However her immune system is FRAGILE
After this blessing and responsibility I could never subject HER to the life I had as a child and the potential long term reprocutions of such contact...
Whether you smoke or do not smoke --- You and your "dreamboat" need to be up front
and honest about these issues -- as other circumstances DO come into play--
Kudos' to the courageous that bring this to the forefront
And to those who hide the issue hoping ..............
well in the end I am sorry to say you deserve to get dumped | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 10:46:10 AM | Hmmmm... People actually lie about smoking? I guess anything will do for some. I have never thought it necessary to lie or withhold the fact that I smoke.
It has been a part of my life for 30 years, and have tried many times to quit prior to this. I'm not perfect, I slip, but I intend to keep on trying, for everyone's sake.
I'd hate to think that I would get dumped over a slip up.
I do fully understand however the issues with others health, and this is one of the reasons I have chosen to end this habit.
I just hope non-smokers could understand what the withdrawal and the habit is actually like. Cigarette smoking is an addiction that is harder to overcome than Heroin.
I don't like the smell, the taste, or anything whatsoever that comes with smoking cigarettes, so please understand it IS the addiction, the habit, that overcomes you.
I am glad that I have supporters out there for me, it helps tremendously. | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 10:51:12 AM | I smoke, I quit, I smoke, I quit, now I have met a few women who don't smoke and normally they are bugging me to go have one. If she doesn't have an issue with it then it's not an issue for me. I will keep the smoking away from her, even if she quit smoking herself. One day I will quit again and as long as I don't feel the need to start up again then maybe quit for good.
If she is someone who hassles me about it, well then she isn't a dreamboat, more like just an anchor pulling me down | |
