I'm a non smoker myself but married a so called ex-smoker who ended up
smoking again and it caused problems. So I wonder how others feel about this topic.

Well Carol, to my way of thinking, if non-smoking is so very important to you then you should only associate with strictly non-smokers..... people who are as fanatical about non-smoking as yourself.

But that won`t work either, I guess, because the other person could take up smoking at any time, and then you`rew back to square one again!

If the person is only acceptable as long as they swear and sign an oath about it, then the person, per sé, is not as important as their habits, and the relationship is going to crash anyway ... because other habits could develop that are also not acceptable, maybe?

What about the eating of pungent food?... Garlic/Onions/Fish/etc.?
Or the drinking of alcohol?

I think it is highly possible, but the first thing is to keep away from other smokers. I have seen peeps do it. I don't have a problem with smoking myself, since I only seem to do it when I am in the smoking crowd. I have not done it for more than five years. applause cheering

I have been smoke free for 8 years now and still have no intentions of starting it up again it's a disgusting filthy habbit. "Now having said all that" I really don't know for sure if I'd ever smoke again as it is a habbit hard to kick, that is how a reformed smoker will think and quiet often you hear of someone giving up smoking for many years and starting again usually a stressful situation seems to trigger it off. Have you looked at you and your hubbys lifestyle and have you noticed if there are any underlying problems dunno

There may be a reason he has started again talk to him try to help him get off them. Good luck. thumbs up

It is really difficult to stop smoking and to keep to it all the time but I now people who stopped smoking definitely. When somebody has very good motivation (for example an illness and a strong advice from a doctor to stop smoking) he may do it.

Yes as it turned out there were many things wrong in that relationship. Been divorced over 11 years now. Sometimes I think there is something about the personality of a smoker that I find attractive. I have met many men who I found interesting and then found out they smoked. Not sure why. Any insight on this guys???
I think in our present society it is hard not to be addicted to something or other. We all have to choose which one we can accept I guess. For me I don’t like the smell on clothes hair or kissing a smoker.

just dont confuse TRYING TO QUIT, with QUITTING. 2 entirely different things. the term, trying to quit, is the same to smokers, as the term, i'm on a diet, is to us overweight folks .
