Would your opinion of someone change....

How would your opinion change mate?

And I'm the same - I would atleast try and talk her out of it - but I wouldn't take the cig out of her mouth whilst she was smoking it.

Well, assuming it was someone that I had been close to for a long time, I think I'd be disappointed more than anything else, given that said person should know by now that I despise smoking, and everything that goes with it.

I guess I'd also think of them as not being quite as intelligent as I originally thought, seeing that a) they are past the whole "high-school peer pressure" part of life, and b) have no real reason to begin smoking.

I'm not sure quite how I'd breach the subject with them though.
 
If it were my girlfriend or a close friend, yes. And I'd let my girlfriend know that if she were to take up smoking it would be the end of our relationship.

That said, I know that my girlfriend won't take up smoking, so no worries there :).

And if you did that, then she obvious wasn't the one for you. There's much more to someone tahn if they smoke. Yes you might be disappointed. But to say you would ditch them for it. You couldn't love her much.

Simply, a woman that would smoke wouldn't be the right one for me.

One of the many reasons I'm happy with her. I know she'll never smoke.
 
Yes and no. It has happened to me, and whilst I detest smoking totally, she only did it when drunk. I do it sometimes when drunk just because its something to do. Its just ghastly generally... she got promptly told to brush her teeth :p

Now, people close to you taking moderate-strong illeagal substances.... can. open. worms. everywhere.
 
my girlfriend was a social smoker on a night out.. i didnt know this until we'd been together a few weeks, as she hadnt smoked in front of me before.... i refused to kiss her, or go near her when she smoked... she stopped smoking right after that hehe :)
 
Not really. I smoke. I gave up for a bit and did feel it was a shame that my girlfriend wouldn't try and give up too, but it's her choice, not mine, and when i give up again it will be my choice, no one else's.

And when I wasn't smoking, kissing her wasn't particularly bad. Worse than when I smoked, but it's not like it was unpleasant.
 
Yes my opinion would change, obviously.

No I wouldn't try to stop her. People who bug smokers to stop are as irritating as cancer itself :p Have a talk with them? Yes. Simply be irritating? No. It's their choice, just provide some insight.

Sorry but after reading that, the lyrics "It must be love...love love" came into my head :D You can't possibly be that close if something so trivial (in the grand scheme of things) would end your relationship.

Who decides what is trivial? For me thats one of the worst things someone can do.

And we are close, thank you very much. I picked correctly, as she will never smoke.
 
My gf smokes, its disgusting, I moan as much as possible about it all the time, dont know how she puts up with it tbh.

Most annoying thing is she quit, I even paid for the patches I was so please, then she started again 2 months later, still havent forgave her.
 
i would be more disapointed in my partner if they started smoking after giving up but being a smoker my self i dont think it could change the way i think of them!
 
My girlfriend has smoked before. But given the circumstances, the fact she doesn't make a habit of it (and tells me if she does it), means that I can tolerate it.
 
Since my gf's mum was given a year to live if she carried on smoking, I doubt she would start the habit.

However if she did I would tell her under no circumstances would I want to be near her when and after she smokes, and that she takes it outside (well, that would be an issue if we had a house together, we rent atm and its no smoking indoors anyway).

I had coughing fits when I was younger from visiting my gran that chain smokes, and I don't want to have to go through that again.
 
crack, yes. nicotine, no. I wouldnt like kissing them though so if it was my GF i wouldnt be happy. ash tray mouth is horrible
