Poll: Smoking, attractive or disgusting?

[LiberalSquirrel]

I find it disgusting. In this day and age, when everyone knows that it harms your body, I don't get why they do it.

Plus, for me, it's an instant turn-off, seeing as I have severe asthma and can't be in a smoky room without having breathing difficulties.

Deal Breaker. total deal breaker.

I prefer a partner that doesn't smoke. I don't really care though.

 

[Lexodus]

Everyone I know smokes. I've adjusted to it.

I look down on it but it gives them relief, I guess.

Pretty much the same as Cuthers over here. A couple of the people I hang out with, however, were trying to quit last time we talked about it, which does give me hope.

I find smoking revolting and it killed both of my parents that doesn't mean you shouldn't smoke though it's a good lesson for your kids to see the terrible things smoking does to your body.

 

[Gralian]

I strongly dislike smoking, but that's because i was brought up by parents who hate smoking very much so. I'm unsure whether i could be with a woman who smoked - i wouldn't go out of my way to date one, that's for sure. If i loved her then i suppose i could overlook it, but it would still bother me to a degree. I did try a puff once (when i was rather drunk) and never really saw the big deal about it.

What about people who smoke pipe's cigars etc everyone is just talking about cigs or do you all that opinion about all smoking

 

[TruthMan]

depends on what your smoking lol... but personally I'm a social smoker ill smoke tobacco rolled or a pipe I've never understood why people say its addictive I've smoked a pack a day at one point and quit cold turkey because my new girlfriend didn't like it I never felt any cravings or anything same with weed. but back to the actual question ya its disgusting at least tobacco if your not a smoker a smoker tastes like shit and it doesn't smell great either but weed is another story my last girlfriend didn't smoke but she loved the smell ever time I'd smoke she was all over me. any one else see anything like this? o and I love the smell too

Disgusting. Utterly disgusting. Oh sure, you may look cool from a distance, but as soon as you come within 5 feet it becomes apparent you smell like a burning corpse.

Also, smokers are pretty fucking disgusting themselves. Find me a smoker, ANY smoker, who has never discarded a still-burning cigarette butt on the sidewalk because it's too much trouble to walk 10 steps to find an ashtray or bin. Yeah, I didn't think you could.

I'm mildly allergic to cigarette smoke so I simply will not tolerate people smoking in my personal space. If anyone gets aggressive about getting in my face with a cloud of smoke, I'll hit them in the mouth so hard they'll swallow the fucking thing.

Gosh, I wish I hadn't given it up. Your angsty angst almost makes me want to blow smoke in your direction. But since you're 'mildly allergic' I'll leave you be. However, there was many a time when I would hold the butt of a cigarette to put it in the bin. I wasn't flawless, but I would aim for a drain/bin/ashtray whenever possible.

Also, burning corpses don't smell like cigarette smokers. Sorry.

hahhaha some of the people here...anyways, no, smoking is wrong. I will never date a smoker; they are incapable of creating long term plans or commitments.
(for the short bus: that means they are deluding themselves into thinking they have a future even though they are told otherwise by people much more intelligent and knowledgeable, but in reality they have none, and thus are unable to to actually commit.)

Wow. I gave up smoking before my daughter was born and for my fiancee, even though she didn't have huge problems with my smoking originally. To be honest, I think I find your wording more inappropriate. Of course smokers are capable of 'creating' plans, whether they live long enough and fulfill them is a different matter. You sound like a terrible smoking cessation councillor.

As for the OT - I don't find it disgusting. It can be if the smoker is a lazy slob. But I also don't find it attractive. It's just a trait, which with good hygiene is hidden. Of course the poor health isn't but that's not my point.

Weed to women is like Catnip to cats lol

 

[RatRace123]

A lot of people, I don't look too fondly on it when they smoke. But certain people can do it and it looks cool.

 

[Trebort]

Smoking is disgusting. I really dislike it.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

Smoking is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. I don't quite understand what stupid idiot introduced something so terrible into our society. My mom smokes. It's awful. She coughs all the time and my teachers at school were concerned about me because my clothes always smell like smoke until I told them that my mom smokes. I hate it. *Sniff* OK, now my eyes are watering. Smoking's always been a touchy subject. I know what it does to people. It, to me, is a complete disregard for common sense. I'm... concerned, y'know? Millions of people are suffering. Tortured. Having their lives controlled by tobacco. Throwing away thousands of dollars just to satisfy a craving that will, eventually, in some way or another, kill them. There have been many, many people who have lots loved ones to the cigar or cigarette. I just hope that I won't be the next one to lose someone...

 

[Mockingjay]

I am a total hypocrite when it comes to this. I hate smoking. Like someone who's lost someone close to the foul habit only could. However, I do find certain men and women with cigerettes quite attractive (I'm not sure why).

 

[Colour Scientist]

It neither repels or attracts me, I am a smoker but I don't think that people are hot because of it. It's a pretty unfortunate habit but c'est la vie.

Most of the people I've ever been with have been non-smokers but it was never really a factor.

 

[The Austin]

I just think it's badass.

 

[LightspeedJack]

There was a poll here but it's not showing up now for some reason. Forum fail!

 

[Crowghast]

As long as the smoker is in a trenchcoat and is brooding about a very difficult murder case. There a myriad of ways one can smoke otherwise. One can smoke classily, with pipe while sitting in front of a fire and telling stories of the times you went hunting for tigers in the wilds of India.

Or a man smoking non-chalantly out in a storm, his feelings of pain and loss masked by the rain on his face and the haze of his cigarette.

Or a lascivious woman in a red dress. With fishnet stockings and glib, sarcastic tongue. Insulting you between puffs of smoke, whilst hinting at something far more [i\]mischievious[/i].

Mostly just 50's and 40's styled stuff. Y'know?

 

[Communist partisan]

I really like smoking but I don't do it beacose it's expencive and don't smell so good so I avoid it.
