Smokers: Would you quit smoking for your dreamboat?

If the woman/man of your dreams was a non-smoker and couldn't tolerate the smoking, would you consider quitting for them?


A friend of mine would quit every time he got a new luuuuv interest, not by the girl's request, but just because he knew she would appreciate it. He's currently in his longest/happiest relationship and it looks like he's quit for good. Thoughts?

Non-smokers: If the man/lady of your dreams was a regular smoker, would you be able to cope?

Yup,I'm doing it. Not just for my "dreamboat" but all the other great things that come with not smoking. More money in my purse, tasting food again, better lung capacity, longer life, etc...

This dreamboat wins the "will you quit" fight because he said "I don't like that you smoke, I love you even if you do, but I would like to spend as many years as possible with you." and left it at that. No harrassing, no nagging, made his claim and dropped the subject. I'm doing the Welbutrine (sp?) so it's a slow process...oh...and he doesn't know. He only knows that it's an anti-dpressant (we went through a family loss reccently). So it's a surprise...SHHHHhhh!

this is an interesting question from the opposite perspective. i mean i don't smoke but i have dated smokers in the past. i don't think i'd make someone quit to be with me but the person would have to be mighty special for me to overlook that they smoked. and then there are the smoking parameters like i don't want them to smoke in my house and not around my son, etc. my sister is a smoker and we get along great but she is also very respectful about where she smokes, etc.

of course, then there are different kinds of smokers - there are those who smoke only when they go to a bar or socially vs those who smoke often....i guess it would be easier for a non-smoker to go out with a social smoker since it would be outside the home for the most part.

i am interested in reading others thoughts on the topic.

i had quit smoking

My Dreamboat; 32ft Whaler Craft, Twin 175hp Merck Engines, Full gallery, sleeps 6, 10 deep sea fishing poles, deep sea bait well, which I be fully in change of...that's why my crew would perfer to call me the MasterBaiter.

Oh!, does this include Pot...in that case never mind..

'm a smoker and I would absolutely quit if my "perfect match" didn't and it bothered him.

On a side note: My mom was a smoker when she met my Dad (I'm talking like 2 packs a day here) and she quit because he didn't like it! She just needed something else to keep her mind (and mouth occupied).

That's cute! My mom was a smoker when she met my dad (she started before they knew it was "so bad" for you, ~1962) but he encouraged her habbit by always bringing home boxes of cigarettes, trying to be thoughtful. It was when they decided to make babies that she quit cold turkey!

hartmcgin- If that cake in your display picture was ANYWHERE near me right now, it would be gone in 30 seconds.

commonsens- What does that mean? :

I'm not talking about someone wanting to change you, so much as you wanting to change yourself for someone (and for yourself goes wtout saying). I get what you're saying, but to me this question is comparible to "Would you get into shape for your perfect match?". I'm not one that jogs and hits the gym regularly, but if I met someone who swept me off my feet and did, then I would easily adopt that lifestyle because it would be win-win: keep up with Dreamboat, and lead a healthier lifestyle! But I absolutely agree that if someone was actively trying to change me then I would not stick with them!

I'm a nurse, non-smoker and grew up with second hand smoke when I was younger. I really can't stand the smell and the fumes give me a headache if I'm surrounded by people who do smoke.

I would never ask anyone to stop smoking for me but it probably would be a factor of not being together.

I would absolutly stop smoking if I knew it please my love interest. Now I am not a smoke maybe that is why it is easy for me to give it up. In the past I had smoked and still would have dropped it for my lady freind. I can not really think of the good to not giving it up. I can think of the good of making my special someone happier though. It would in turn make me happier.

Oh yes - that's easy - for sure.

I'm down to 7 or 8 cigarettes a day and never smoke indoors - even in my own home.

The last girl I dated had issues with smoking so when we spent time together - the gum came out. Well on my way to giving it up but then WE didn't work out and I fell back into it.

So apparently she wasn't my 'dreamboat' - yet I was giving it up - there you have it.
