All my life I have been raised that smoking is wrong. I don't understand how some people still think throwing their life away to "look cool" or whatever the reason, is okay. It's not attractive or cool, if anything it's the opposite. Here are just a few reasons why I would never, EVER, date a guy who smokes.
1. They have horrid breath!
Smelling smoke is about as pleasant as sitting behind a diesel bus at a stop light. When you're close to one another a lot, as significant others tend to be, the last thing I want to smell is smoky breath.
2. They have that unattractive yellow smile...
Smoking stains your teeth yellow and gives a disgusting look. It's definitely not attractive.
3. Smoke is the worst cologne!
One thing that is important for a lot of women is that great scent of their S.O. and the smell of smoke is the last thing I want to smell when curled up together.
4. Their car smells rancid...
To make it worse, not only do they personally smell disgusting but then you get in their car and are surrounded by the horrid smell?! No thank you!
5. They’re at a higher risk of cancer
Everyone knows it! Smoking causes cancer and I've known people who've passed away because of cancer caused by smoking habits. I want to have a S.O. that I can imagine a future with.
6. A raspy voice is not sexy...
Smoking can cause many throat problems including a raspy voice. It is not attractive in any way especially when there's a "smoker's cough" every few minutes along with it.
7. They age faster.
Yet another thing smoking causes... Wrinkles, baggy eyes, hair loss, and cataracts are not attractive in any way.
8. The smoke breaks get annoying...
Guys who smoke spend a lot of time tied to their cigarettes. Nothing ruins a date quicker than when your potential S.O. steps outside every hour to smoke.
9. There’s the possibility of a tracheostomy tube...
If you have no idea what that is, look it up, it's just plain scary…
10. Second hand smoking is scary...
Just being around someone while they are smoking can badly influence my own health. Why the heck would I want to do that to myself just to be close to a S.O.?
11. Stained fingers and fingernails are so gross!
Holding hands is another great part of having a S.O. but seeing dirty fingers and yellow finger nails is a huge gross factor and highly unattractive. No way are those hands coming near me!
12. They have reduced athletic ability!
I want a S.O. who is able to keep up with me and have a good time. Having to stop every 30 seconds to let them catch their breath is no fun.
13. They obviously have no self-respect.
The health issues and long-term consequences of smoking have been told to everyone since they were young and yet people still chose to do it, bringing those health issues and consequences onto themselves. Most women want a guy that takes care of their body. If you smoke, it shows that you don't have much self-respect and you certainly don't care about your health.
14. They’re not really family material...
While not all women are always looking for a serious relationship, in the back of their minds, they do think about the future. A smoker is most definitely not going to be husband or father material. Women tend to avoid dating smokers, much less marrying them.
15. You can’t take him to meet the parents
Meeting the parents is a big step in any relationship. When girls imagine their man meeting their father, it's never a smoker. It's a guaranteed bad first impression when he meets the parents with a bad smell and stained hands. They're for sure going to be talking about the guy when he steps out for a smoke break.
16. Those gross kisses are just that... gross.
Kissing a smoker is a lot like making out with an ashtray. A lot of women avoid it. Fresh breath is way more attractive, so basically, avoid smoking at all costs.
17. It’s just not attractive!
Smoking is not cool! I don't know where people got the idea that you look attractive or sexy with a cigarette between your lips or fingers. Are you trying to look macho? Cause you don't! Are you trying to impress me? Cause you aren't! I'm not the only girl out there unimpressed and unattracted by a guy's smoking habits, so stop.
