Non smokers - do you like kissing a heavy smoker?

[trackfan]

I actually don't mind the taste of "cigarette kisses".

[madeline_con]

1. Is there also stale beer involved?

:puke:

[Ready4Change]

9. I maybe missed dating a nifty lady once due to "rum lips."

Kissed, her, we both seemed to enjoy it, but I wasn't sure it wasn't kissing her rum, rather than her, if you know what I mean. So I gave any potential advancement of the involvement a miss that day, and the chance never returned.

[mike_c]

I did it for years-- I'm not sure I'd say I liked that aspect...

...but I did get accustomed to it.

[WeRQ4U]

2. Nope.

My wife used to smoke when I first met her. I don't miss those kisses. Granted, I didn't seem to care when we were making out in college. LOL.

3. I've never done it

I dislike the smell of cigarette smoke so much that I have literally never gotten that intimate with a smoker.

[Gato Moteado]

4. that's gross...

it tastes like you're licking out the inside of an ashtray. no thanks. no smokers at all for me, heavy or light.

[candy]

5. It's a good thing the old timers didn't mind kissing smokers or

we would never had a baby boom.

[JVS]

6. Mmmmm delicious fleshy ashtray

[blue sky at night]

7. poor oral hygiene, and/or cigarette.........

breath is not something I want any part of. The problem for me is not just the smoking....its all of the other related issues...my main one being flicking the butts all over the freaking place. I just can't stand that, and to me, when a person trashes the environment AND themselves......well, I get all confused! How does this happen, what makes a person do this awful shit? Flame on if you will, but I see hundreds of butts littering every sidewalk, every street, every parking lot, every beach, everywhere! So it isn't just the other guy...a lot of smokers litter. Hope I didn't ruin the spirit of your post...but it is one of my pet peeves. If you smoke, put them in the ashtray, or better yet...get help and quit that nasty stuff!

8. It just depends on how extreme the expected sex is.

IMHO smokers doooo stink. However, for some things I'm sure that we all would adjust as needed. I know that I might have.............

[Floogeldy]

20. You are such a pig!

And, as it turns out, my new idol.

;)

[enigmatic]

10. nope

That's why I never dated smokers; I can't handle it. That, and listening to my Mom (who smoked 2 packs a day) cough her lungs out every night..

[miss_kitty]

11. Even when I was a smoker, I didn't like kissing a smoker

pretty stuck up of me.

[Gato Moteado]

12. yeah, that's a bit of a double standard

but you know it's bad if even a smoker doesn't want to kiss a smoker. so, you can imagine how us non-smokers feel about it.

[miss_kitty]

15. Yes

because I no longer smoke.

[BiggJawn]

13. Not really....

It *IS* "like licking an ashtray"...

[Aristus]

14. Oh GOD no!

:puke::smoke:

I'm glad I married a non-smoker. No more kissing ashtray-ladies.

'Course, if she had smoked, I wouldn't have married her! B-)

[sakabatou]

16. I have yet to kiss a smoker

never mind being kissed in the first place.

[XemaSab]

17. Gross!

NOOOO!!!!

All I can think about is the brown phlegm that has been in that mouth...

[RPM]

18. kissing them where???

makes a difference

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

19. ugh

no no no

[Droopy]

21. I will never be involved with a smoker

That's a deal breaker for me.

[Floogeldy]

22. Former smokers are the worst anti-smokers!

;)

[Heidi]

23. You winked, Floog,

but it's absolutely true. Same thing with "reformed" sinners. ;)

[Floogeldy]

24. You caught me.

:)

[Droopy]

25. The reason for that is

that ex-smokers do not want to let anyone undermine their non-smokiness.

Think of it this way. If you were an ex-heroin addict would you want to be in a relationship with someone who is a heroin addict? Same thing goes for alcohol. I think when you look at it that way it's easy to understand why ex-smokers can be so demanding. I will probably want a cigarette at least once a day (and more than likely several times a day) for the rest of my life. I don't need someone making it any harder.

[Heidi]

26. You're absolutely right, Droopy, in most respects.

But you're one of the _least_ self-righteous former smokers I've known. I think smoking is a hideous addiction, and honestly, I'm sure that the main reason I don't mind Mr. Heidi's "smoker's breath" is because I'm a smoker myself.

:pals:

[Droopy]

28. Thank you, Heidi

I try not to let myself get too carried away. I smoked for 16 years and I must have tried to quit a hundred times. So I know how tough it is. The thing I hated the most was people telling me that I failed because I didn't want to quit bad enough. I wanted to quit since I was 17. Kicking the cigarette habit is often cited by people as the toughest thing that they had to do in their life. And so far it's #3 on my list. #2 being losing weight and #1 being living through my twenties a psychotic mess.

I won't look down my nose at smokers. Two of my friends smoke. But you can bet I'm going to sit in the non-smoking section. :)

27. A Poem

Cigarettes have no power
They are like ghosts
Phantoms with no existence
In your world

Mists and spirits
Not of this plane
Having no say over you
Or your body

You are an oak tree
And they are dying
Whispers in the wind

Your imperviousness
Weakens their goals
Strength and desires

Stalwart you shall remain
As they fade
Into nonexistence
And meaninglessness

[Heidi]

29. That's lovely.

And true. Like most things in life, cigarettes have only the power we convey to them.

Here's one of my favorite proverbs: "The moon is not bothered by the barking of the dogs."

[Floogeldy]

30. OH

"The moon is not bothered by the barking of the dogs."

We reach.

:)

[LeftyMom]

31. Blech

I can't stand the smell of cigs. It's bad enough when heavy smokers come over to visit and the smell lingers after they're gone (nobody smokes at my house, but they bring the smell in on thier clothes,) having that taste in my mouth would probably make me :puke:

[NMMNG]

32. I don't like being within 10 feet of a smoker

Or in the same room if they're actually smoking. I'm certainly not going to kiss them. x( :puke:

[tjwmason]

33. I don't mind fresh smoke

I can sit in smoke-filled pubs for hours on end without batting an eyelid, cigar-smoke is actually a gorgeous scent to smell. But stale smoke is the most hideous ghastly thing to smell.

B.T.W. I've never smoked a cigarette, cigar or pipe in my life, and I'm not about to either.
