Smoking, a major turn off ?

I don't really see the issue. There's a difference between kissing an "ashtray" which would be someone who does absolutely no hygiene work, and kissing someone who just finished a cigarette. I'm sure most smokers make a point not to smoke around people they know that don't like it. Some people don't care but they just stand out of the crowd against the masses. I would actually leave the room and go elsewhere to smoke whenever I was with my old girlfriend.

It´s still a bad habit, waste of money and if you want to talk to someone you have to wait till he-she finished her cigarette. It´s fine but a bit annoying I dislike cigarettes and similar smoking tools in general

I dont Find Smoking a good habit at all. Like darkxangel says, It drags the conversation longer til the cigarette finished or they get another Cig just to waste time. I personally dont smoke but I dont stand around 2nd hand smoking it gave me problems. Even kissing one who smokes will have bitter taste.

Not that smoking is great or that I advocate it, but it sounds like most here have chain smokers and unhygienic people confused for the average smoker. I can guarantee the only way you can smell a cigarette on me is if I just smoked. I've had numerous times where someone was surprised that I do smoke. A little hygiene goes a long way. But, you know what I hate? It's ok to eat processed, hormone injected crap, but if you smoke, you're disgusting and a horrible person.

it doesn't make you a horrible person by all means. It makes you a stupid person who likes to waste their money and health. While smoking is very easily avoided, processed and especially non-injected food isn't. The only way to ensure your food isn't anyhow manipulated is by purchasing it from a local farmer after doing a nice, long, in-depth back-ground check. That costs time and most importantly, lots of money. And some farmers won't even let you do it. They like their secrets to stay secret. So that comparison is just silly. I don't care if you occasionally pick up a cig at a party or something like that, much like I don't mind going to McD every once in a while. But when it's a daily habit either is equally a turn-off for me. And I don't know what people you hang out with but I have yet to come across a person who smokes more than 1 cig a day and doesn't shower themselves in mouth spray and cologne where it's not noticeable. But I grew up with little smokers and lots of fresh air... So maybe I'm just more sensitive with that stuff..

And yet, there are ways to cut back. Do you think people could make a change if they wanted to? Yup, but they don't and wont. Also, I spend less on cigarettes per month than you think. One pack goes a long way for a light smoker. I for one don't know any smokers who "shower in mouth spray and cologne ". Again, I'm not defending smoking, I'm just saying there are other things that can be just as bad and yet you hardly see any real complaints or trying to change. I won't resort to personal insults though.

I just quit smoking cigs today is day 3. I'm hangin in there :D Anyway, I think for me it goes either way it can be a turn on for me if she looks the part, on the flip side I've had women tell me I looked sexy smoking cigs too soo I mean just because the consensus or majority on here say no, (if you do smoke) don't think that you're never going to meet anyone. Also, something that people might wanna think about or consider, when I started smoking cigarettes they fucked up my whole system and I mean from digestion to tachycardia, I can't drink alcohol (which isn't really a bad thing) and I can no longer smoke weed. It's done nothing but, steal things that I love to do in life and has instilled a fear of "Is today the day I'm going to die?" So yeah, I encourage everyone to quit smoking Cigarettes.
