    I've tried it and hated it. Not for me at all

    Never done it, don't plan on it, but I have no problem with smokers. I have asthma though so I choose to not. Also, illegal, don't want to get in trouble :3

    Tried it a long time ago & I don't plan to ever do it casually or socially. I wouldn't date someone who smokes either. I have friends who smoke but that's their choice, I can't intervene with what they want to do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    The smell used to not bother me when I was little because a lot of my relatives smoked or used to smoke but now once I smell cigarette smoke continuously I get a bad headache.

    For vapes, it's better scent wise but it makes it hard for me to breathe.

    It's disgusting. The thought of smoking anything--cigarette, cigar, pipe, hookah, marijuana--disgusts me. I would not date or live with anyone who smoked, even outdoors. I have no problem with it legally, but I find it personally disgusting.

    I don't have the lungs for it, nor am I interested in smoking to begin with :slight_smile: That said, the smell of whatever obscure brand my grandma used to smoke still reminds me of lucky charms and hugs :lol:

    My mother smokes so I don't have a problem with it nor do I smell it. ^-^ But I don't like being in public and seeing people just leave cig' butts everywhere (I just want to pick them up and throw them away but I don't want to get sick from them...).

    Don't like it.
    Would not be a dealbreaker, if the potential partner would agree to smoke outside the house and away from any possible future children.
    Would also have to agree to try and quit as I'd rather not lose my partner to it.

    Oh, joints would be a dealbreaker, not for moralistic reasons, but because I really cannot stand the smell, it makes me physically ill.

    My father smokes, and I've seen his health gradually deteriorate over the years because of it. Not a big fan, if I'm honest.

    I dislike cigarette smoke and the smell of people who smoke gets on my nerves (and lungs). I've tried smoking both cigarettes and marijuana, and found them just OK, nothing special (marijuana was better :wink: ), while I can't stand the smoke itself.
    Both of my parents are smokers and they used to smoke in the house all the time when I was a kid. Usually the house would be filled with smoke and I didn't see no problems in that. Also, when I was in early elementary school i got asthma for a few months but didn't connect it with the fact that the house always stank of cigarettes. It was two years later when I started thinking for myself and my own good and confronted my parents about it. Since then they smoke (when it isn't cold) outside, but at least almost never in the living room.
    The smoke went away, but my feeling of revolt didn't. I don't like hanging out with smokers and I'm glad that there aren't almost any in my company. I'd start coughing right away if there were...

    I love the smell of it.
    In regards to other people smoking, I don't really care, I have a co-worker who smokes (and 1 quit due to health problems).
    I'd like to try it, maybe smoke cigars casually, my dad used to smoke cigarettes, then chewing tobacco, and now smokes cigars once and a while.

    Meh. I don't care if people smoke as long as they don't do it in my face. Personally I don't want to smoke because it would waste my time, money, and life expectancy.

    Me too!

    --

    I don't smoke cigarettes or weed regularly, but I don't mind smoking either socially. It's very rare though that I'll choose a cigarette if I have the option of the former because I'll only touch a cigarette if I've had a few drinks.

    I haven't tried shisha, but would like to once or twice just to see what it's like.

    Can't smoke, I have asthma with other health issues.
    Don't want to smoke, not even socially - it's not - ever rarely ever, appealing to me whether someone near me does it and especially not me doing it myself. (The smell, and how it affects your facial features, often times.)
    And smoking at all is detrimental, but I can't tell grown people what to do - so it's you're choice whether you want to

    I'll just say no.

    I have bad lungs, mostly from breathing in those putrid fumes from smokers on the street, there's no way I'd tough that shit! I'd sooner turn into an alcoholic and waste away my precious Mensa level IQ than to destroy my tools to breathe! It's ludicrous, why do people do that? Are they worried their lives are too long or something, so they have to keep shortening it with every puff? If you've ever needed a reason to hate humanity, inventing the cigarette is a very good one.

    I hate the smell. I would never ever date someone who smokes.

    If you smoke near me, I won't be too shy to cover my nose while I walk away from you. Also, the smokers who smoke as close as they can to the door as well as those who smoke in places you can't get away from are assholes.
