Im not saying all smokers smoke just because they are all in a self harming mood.

Some smokers do smoke because they are slightly unstabe and find its something to do when they are in a self harming mood. Like in the way propper hardcore emos slash themselves.

Not ALL the EMO kids smoke y'know... :p

I do believe that this thread was created by a guy asking for advice, not a smoker bashing thread. My advice would be, if it annoys you, its usually the little things that mount up in a relationship that turn things sour. Bear that in mind, if you really want to continue with the relationship.

Next time she lights one up, spray her with a fire extinguisher. Works a dream

I also agree with what someone said about smokers being uneducated. Its either this or they are selfish scum. I would hope therefore that its the former.

Do we have to go over all of this again?! :(


Yes we do. Cliffs will or do include:

*Someone moans, usually about the smell.
*someone defends the smoker.
*4 or 5 people mention cancer and or black lungs.
*Random post, something about smokers being mentalists.
*Smell brigade step up the argument.
*Smokers feel set upon and make angry time.
*None smokers up in arms, mainly focusing on the passive effects.
*Thread drifts into the depths of page 2.
*Someone else starts an anti smoking post.
*Profit.

Let her read this. I hope she dumps you over 20 BnH.

You say you love her, accept her for what she is and love her.

Really i see absoloutley no problem and i think a lot of people are really bizzare on this. I put it down to youth. I cant think of anythign else.

Maybe some people enjoy smoking. What is the point of being alive if you don't enjoy yourself, you might as well be dead.

I smoke a bit and i am worried about getting cancer but I just hope I don't get it. :o

I don't smoke (never have), and hate smokers. But it's here choice and upon reading the majority of this thread (all of your replies and most of the others) I feel it's very unfair to give her an ultimatum.

Just come back from a health promotion meeting with the local PCT (West Kent PCT). One of the topics was about smoking cessation.

The person giving the talk said it's up to the person to wake up one day and decide to quit there and then. They would go and see a pharmacist/GP/smoking group with a view to quit.

Regarding your girlfriend, you could drop hints such as some leaflets from the local pharmacy on to her lap, and then it will be up to her to quit at her own free will.
