Would you quit smoking for a relationship with a none smoker? (104)
1again61Redding, California USA9 PostsI quit for 15yrs and started after the death of my husband 8 mos ago. I would use the relationship as my goal to quit again.
LILLYLADY: It's a sad truth of life Sebastino. People who are addicted to smoking don't always stop even when they have a critical illness and they know the cigarettes are going to kill them if they continue. The mindset is that they are going to continue doing what they enjoy....even if it kills them. That is how serious the nature of the nicotine addiction is with many people. The lucky ones that quit are the ones who have been comtemplating quitting for a long time and this is the one way that they can then justify quitting. You are most lucky you are not a smokeer. Can only feel sorry for the smokers who cannot quit as their future will be very grim
It is very true all you have just said. in addition to that some people that i have tried to interview for smoking tell me it is a medicine prescribed by doctor for them, while others say it keeps them warm in the inside and few others say it makes them brave. i really don't bay this idea of smoking for what so ever reason if you ask me.
My Dad did it because my Mom asked him to. Purely out of love and respect for her. 
.
That is nice and the best way to go about it if you truely love some one

hahaha...who re u talkin to?
Sebastino: Yeah, this is a big challenge to me because after i meet a nice, loving and caring lady only to find out she is a smoker, i give up interest. I can't stand it and there is no excuse for smoking lol. for what so ever, i can't marry a smoker excpt you are willing to quit.
well if he has to tell me what to do who knows what he tell me next,,, dont like control freeks ,,, i am in the mood to quit but have to quit on my not for someone who i hardly know he may not even care for me,No......a person needs to quit for their OWN reasons......not because someone they like doesnt like it. That's when you see ppl sneaking cigs behind their S/A back and thats not cool.
I voted 'hell no'.
... but maybe, if he was really nice, I might shave the hair off my teeth
Come on. If a relationship starts out with ultimata (either you do or do not do x, y or z, or else I will not love you), the whole thing is doomed to fail. Sounds like a case of bartering with feelings of affection.
Imagine the person drinks. I am not a drinker. So he'd ask me to quit smoking and I'd ask him to quit drinking and if he said no, then I'd feel cheated and thus the problems start. I use drinking and smoking as examples. Take the person as they are and if they are not what you want, find someone else. Simple.

yeah i know it is some how hard to dit but you have to if you really like some one. First you do it for yourself and then the person so don't look at it as if it is a big deal.
