  This cracks me up because there is a wide variety of people that live in my building. One in particular is an aging alcoholic. My dad was an alcoholic, whisky drinker, and there is no smell as bad as the smell of rotten booze breath in the morning. I cannot stomach the smell at all. I can remember being in the car with him was torture. I would have roll down the window down and stick my head out in order to keep from vomiting. That was when I was about 11 or 12.

  Anyway, I never smoke in the elevator and if I am smoking, I take the stairs. No biggie since I hate elevators anyway. One morning this alcoholic gets off the elevator just as I am unlocking the door to the garage. I couldn't get the door open fast enough, thought I was gonna loose my breakfast right there. I had a cigg in my mouth and the bone head starts waving his hand fanning the smoke and gripping about the smell of cigarette smoke. That pissed me off, under the circumstances, so I said "How the hell can you drink this early in the morning!" "GADS!!! I can smell your liver!"

  He gave me the foulest look, stomped off to his car, and slammed the door. Geesh! I can still smell his liver.

  Sure. I smoke too. Even if I didn't smoke I don't see why I wouldn't if I were attracted to or in love with a chick who smoked. I've kissed smokers before and it's not that bad. Especially once the clothes start coming off.

  However I also understand how non-smokers feel about being around cigarette smoke. I'm a strange smoker myself. I don't light up first thing in the mornings, it's not until after I've had my lunch I feel like a smoke. I don't even like the smell first thing in the morning.

  Mike.

  I'm sorry guys, but this issue is serious to me. After watching my aunt die of lung cancer, (and even in her last hours, she was puffing away), and two friends die of emphasema, it's not just the smell of kissing someone. (Which I have done, and the taste is atrocious. plmkrzy--combined with alcohol, it will make you gag!) Also, I hated going to the museum and my partner had to leave the building every 20 minutes to smoke. He couldn't even enjoy himself. I felt like he wasn't really INTO being with me. All he was worried about was another cig.

  I'm at the point now, that I think if someone didn't care enough about the consequences of smoking, then how could they care that much about me? Smoking is not a joke anymore. It kills you. Period!!

  Francois, would you kiss Charlize if she had mouth cancer?????

  Charlize Theron could eat old cigar butts for breakfast and I'd still spend the rest of my like kissing her.

  Sorry if I brought everyone down, but you can't watch someone die and think it's trivial anymore. I couldn't kiss someone with all that running through my mind.

  I know where you are coming from Tat, my dad had lung cancer and I watched my mom struggle to quit smoking..it is a destructive habit...

  BUT...

  the men who I have kissed that smoke had the habit LONG before I met them...it is their individual choice if they want to continue....I will express my reservations to them (if I date them long enough to feel comfortable enough to broach this subject) about this habit, but ultimately it is their decision what they want to do with their body. I would never leave anyone solely over their smoking habit (unless they insisted on smoking indoors and exposing myself and my daughter to the threat of second hand smoke). If I truly loved them, I would accept it as something I may not care for about them...and I am sure I would worry about them.... but lets face it we all have things about us people have to put up with if they want to be with us...

  LOL Francios,

  About actually licking the bottom of an ashtray. Was thinking the exact same thing.

  Xena, I agree. We all do have habits that people have to put up with. But most of them don't kill you. I know overeating and alcoholism kills too. As well as other things. But, if you overeat, you kill YOURSELF. If you drink too much, you kill YOURSELF. (unless you drink and drive) You can't inhale food or alcohol from someone else.

  If you smoke around your loved ones, or anyone else, you kill them too.

  I'm glad you feel this way, though. I do too.

  unless they insisted on smoking indoors and exposing myself and my daughter to the threat of second hand smoke

  Although I've found that even though I've told my older son not to smoke around the kids, and I asked my ex to PLEASE not smoke around the kids, as soon as I left for work, they'd do it anyway.

  I feel that if you want to smoke and kill yourself, go ahead, but don't expose others to it. Especially children.

  And I do truly love my older sons who smoke. I constantly give them phone #'s of programs to help them stop. One quit for a year, and then started back. God knows why. It terrifies me that I may see them in the hospital way before their time. But, like you say, it's their body. They can do what they want. I just think it's selfish.

  Blondie wants a kiss. She likes my beard? OK. I'm game. Pucker up!!

  Charlize Theron with mouth cancer? You are introducting a new variable out of sync with the spirit of this thread. BRRRAAAAAAAAAAAACCCK. One demerit for you.
