would you

marry someone who smokes (cigarettes specifically )

and for those who do smoke is quitting really that difficult ? :confused:

Re: would you

i can’t live with or be near a person who smokes because the tobacco smell is unbearable to me. besides, smoking is health risk for sure. smokers don’t realize how smoking can destroy their lungs. i’ve lung disease and i go to Pulmonary Rehab and i see patients who have been struck with emphysema due to smoking and i’ve heard them regretting their smoking…now, they can NOT get lung transplant because of that…they have to be free of smoke for 1 year before they can be considered for lung transplant…often 1 year wait is deadly.

Re: would you

I second KKF’s comment. I feel sick whenever I smell tobacco. Just yesterday night I had a hard time keeping it together at Tarawih because the brother standing next to me was omitting such a strong tobacco smell.

So marrying someone who smokes would have been out of question. Alhamdulillah my wife never smoked a cigarette in her life and neither did I.

Re: would you

I wouldn’t have..

I do think it can be pretty difficult to stop though and you shouldn’t go for someone expecting them to change..

Re: would you

Naw. Cigarettes smell terrible and taste awful (I might have tried a cigarette or two in my life :wink: ). I don’t want any part of that. Then there is lung cancer.

Not a smoker so can’t say how difficult it is to quit. However, smokers are usually very defensive of their habit. Admitting cigarettes are bad for them is significant challenge for a lot of smokers.

Re: would you

To me its disgusting…let alone having a spouse who does it. I have spoke to girls and guys who have done shisha/hookah and some don’t even think that’s smoking!
Any girl I have talked to that smoked/did shisha even a little bit I just stopped talking to just cause to me its repulsive and such a turn off. No matter how hot/religious/amazing they are..its that big of a turn off to me.

Re: would you

Nope never. Can’t stand the smell of others doing and it would never be able to live with someone who does. Plus it’s gross and they will always smell like smoke.

Re: would you

Kya yar.. you sensitive ppl.. how about smoking weed here n there? The guy can give you the best time of your life.. :sunnyboy:

Re: would you

Depends on how often they do it. I don’t think I can put up with someone who tokes\drinks every single day, barring those who do it for medicinal purposes.

Re: would you

Naaaaah, not worth it.

But OP, you should defs go for someone who is smokin’ hot. Just without the cigarettes.

Re: would you

No, cigarette smoking would be a deal breaker for me. Aside from the health issues from second-hand smoking, I find the smell disgusting.

Re: would you

what if they did not smoke before marriage but took it up on fine day years after marriage ?

Re: would you

^ Simple. You should divorce him then. Or you can just treat him in the same way he would a cigarette stub. Throw him to the ground and stamp him out in style with a stiletto.

Re: would you

Lol i think divorcing might be a bit too extreme :confused:

Re: would you

Are there smoking desi girls?

Re: would you

:smokin:

Re: would you

I do not smoke rather never did so does my better half. It is my fantasy to try cigar some day. :wink:

Yes, apart from well established health hazards related to smoking, it is extremely difficult to tolerate and endure the smell. In chronic smokers, the smell is not only in breath but also in sweat.

During my university days, few ladies were finding smoker boys cool. I don’t know if the trend has changed now.

Re: would you

Why? You’d prefer to get lung cancer or heart disease over divorce?

Whether or not divorce papers are filed, I will never agree to share a home with a smoker. No one in this world, including my husband, is worth those health risks. If my husband started smoking all of a sudden, that would tell me that he has changed and is not the same man I married. His behavior would be clear indication to me that not only does he not care about his own health, but he also has no respect for my well-being. And I sure as heck will not allow my children to be exposed to second-hand smoke either.

Re: would you

Its not ideal but if that was the only problem, it won’t be a deal breaker.

Re: would you

This is a hypothetical situation and getting divorce is actually little extreme. Maybe an amicable solution should be sought. I am not here advocating smokers but I don’t think passive smoking will harm your heart. Yes, with long exposure (defined as the passive smoker always sits in the company of active smoker and enjoys every bit of smoke which he/she exhales), the lungs may get damaged.

Overall, I respect your views.
