Kissing a Smoker

This is mainly intended for non-smokers and for both sexes. What do you think of kissing a smoker? Many prefer not to because it makes them sick and others don't mind. Please exclude the love factor.

NO! *Gives a look of total disgust.*


I'm sorry, I'm very strongly against smoking.

I just recently got out of a long-ass relationship with a "dedicated smoker" (my smoking friends get upset when I call them addicts). Honestly, I don't know what bothers most people about it. Nobody in my family ever smoked, so it's not like I'm used to the smell or anything, but it just never even registered in my mind that he smelled or tasted like smoke.

Yes, but it's not a nice taste.

Probably, but I cannot say till the situation arises. The only time I've kissed a smoker is when I smoked, so it probably doesn't count for anything.

My wife is a smoker, I kiss her all the time. It doesn't bother me at all.

My friend once took a puff of a herbal and breathed into my face. I was breathless and wanting to retch for the next half hour. If kissing a smoker's anything like that I'd rather not. :(

I don't think I could ever get close enough to one to fall in love or lust and want to kiss them. Smoke smells bad to me.

Kissing is tolerable, but sharing a bed is a different matter. My pillows still smell like my ex-girlfriend's Parliament Lights from like 6 months ago. Washing doesn't seem to help. Maybe it has something to do with all the foul additives they put in American cigarettes.

I have severe asthma which is triggered only by the smell of tobacco, (or tobacco smoke); seventy attacks in three years. Even the smell on smoke on clothes will set me off. For me, kissing a smoker would literally be the kiss of death. :gundge:

Ooh, technical reason. Nice. That sucks though.

No, because it's very unlikely I'd have a smoker as a girlfriend.

it depends a lot on the person. I don't know why that is, but some smokers smell (and taste) really strongly of tobacco, while others don't. :confused:

Depends on how good looking the smoker is.

I sneeze at the smell of a smoker, even if he/she wasn't smoking. Will my lips rot if I kiss a smoker?

I agree, it depends. If you fall in love with a smoker you will kiss him no matter what. Another thing is the time period between the kiss and the last cigarette. I would never ever kiss when he/she just smoked.

Maybe I should deliberately decline kissing a smoker to let her know how much I hate it. :sniper:

I don't mind it at all - being a former smoker. I actually enjoy the taste of a cigarette, so it's nothing bad for me.

:D Well I try not to.

I am allergic to cigarette smoke, so the smell tends to turn me off. I have never kissed a smoker on the lips -- just my mother on the cheek, and that can even bother me if she smells like smoke.

well yeah, it's usually best that you don't but in certain situations, ashtray licking just can't be avoided! :p

Both I and my girlfriend smoke, but I never kiss her immediately after she's had a cigarette if I haven't had one too, as it really isn't pleasant. If you've both just had a smoke you don't notice it... So even though I smoke, I completely understand non-smokers not wanting to kiss a smoker. But someone here mentioned the time between the kiss and the last cigarette, and they're absolutely right.

I don't find drug addicts terribly attractive, so that and the foul stench would probably be enough to put me off. :)

Also for some reason, cigarette smoke on the breath smells worse than the smoke coming from a lit cigarette. Smells kind of stale.... mmm. Yep, smoking is pretty foul. I wish I didn't enjoy it so much, but I think every smoker can probably agree that a smoke after a meal is very agreeable, despite how nasty the habit really is. I'm lucky I don't smoke very often, but still it would be good to quit. I'm sure reading this thread will help me on the way :)

No way! Smokers are disgusting and degenerate! How could one reasonable person want to "smell" like that?

I've never even kissed anyone, but I probably wouldn't kiss a smoker. :(

Man i'm pathetic.

I'd rather kiss a non smoker than a smoker, but I love someone who smokes so I have to kiss a smoker!

I have before, and its much less fun than kissing a non smoker.

Kissing a smoker could be compared to kissing someone who uses rat's piss funneled through a moldy sock as a breath freshener.

The difference being I haven't heard of rat's piss causing cancer.


On a serious note, I couldn't be someone who didn't care about their own health. Self respect is one of my criteria for any potential significant other.

Mh, I voted "other". My reply would have been "yes, but it bothers me" :)

Mhh, once I kissed a smoker... but I dont think she had smoked right before, so it didnt taste bad (and I was a little drunk).
But sometimes smokers smell so very bad (usually men) that I dont even want to come closer than 2 meters (about 6 foot, for those who dont know).
