Complete and absolute turn-off.

Carcinogens on someone’s hands, body, clothes, car, home? Plus the smell? Turn off. No thank you. \

Deal-breaker.

Lips and hands that touch nicotine will never again touch mine.

Big turn-off. There’s only one man that I think is sexy smoking a cigarette, but that’s probably because I think he’s sexy doing just about anything.

Surprusingly enough, that’s not my husband. ;)

Can be sexy in the cinema but not in real life.

People are actually attracted to cigerette smokers still? I haven’t heard anything of the sort in many many years. Unless the person was a smoker themselves. It will be interesting to see if anyone answers that are.

My answer is turn-off. Just having to accomodate a smoker is annoying.

My fiancé has never ever smoked, yet he thinks it’s sexy when I do.
I have no idea why. It’s actually rather disgusting.

Okay, try this: Which would you choose? French kissing an ashtray or a sweet sexy person?

Katniss's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe I actually asked him if kissing me was like kissing an ashtray. He said no because I’m always chewing him. lol I’m sure he’s just being polite.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Katniss Okay that cracked me up. Good for you your technique overcomes your stench. I’m kidding.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Katniss I’m sorry, that was bad.

JLeslie's avatar

@Katniss Probably has something to do with the cigarette being sucked on in your mouth.

Katniss's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe I laughed at your answer too! lol
I know I reek. It’s all good!

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Good. I play a little rough at times but I mean no harm.

Total turn-off!

It will make me wonder what other unhealthy things they are into besides.

ETpro's avatar

Reminds me of this. Smell is the center of erotocism for me, and the smell of cigarette breath is as unsexy as the smell of rotting meat.

marinelife's avatar

Total turn-off. Breath stinks. Clothes stink. Cars are polluted.

I smoke. I don’t find women smoking to be attractive or unattractive. It is what it is.

LuckyGuy's avatar

It’s a turn off on so many levels – health, smell, taste and it is evidence of addictive, wasteful behavior.

OTOH, I’d be hard pressed to turn this down .

Kissing a smoker is like licking a dirty ashtray. All that tar and nicotine rub off.

A smoker’s bad breath comes from the junk in his/her lungs. Vigilant toothbrushing, flossing, and mouthwash can never get rid of the stench.

Yellow fingers and teeth are revolting.

Long-term smoking makes a person’s voice unattractively deep and husky. The effect isn’t sultry or sexy; it’s disgusting.

Smoking destroys a person’s complexion and is especially brutal on the skin around one’s mouth. You need to purse your lips to suck on a cigarette, and doing so forms deep lines radiating around your mouth. Next stop – collagen injections and trout-pout.

For me, it’s neither. I don’t like some of the effects of smoking, but the act of smoking is neither attractive nor unattractive.

KNOWITALL's avatar

It doesn’t matter to me, much like drinking.

harangutan's avatar

There is nothing attractive about smoking. It’s disgusting.

lovelessness's avatar

I like to kiss someone who smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol an hour ago. I just like it. It feels like I am being united with life.

Headhurts's avatar

I hate smoking. When I kissed men on nights on and they smoked, it was disgusting and never pursued them. When I met my boyfriend, he smoked, it didn’t put me off and he never smelt of it. He hasn’t smoked for about 2 years now, and I’m pleased, for his health.

Sunny2's avatar

I have a hard time being in close quarters with someone smoking. Thinking back, I don’t think I ever had a boyfriend who smoked. Maybe one, but it was so long ago I’m not sure. And if so, I tolerated it.My parents smoked constantly and I always hated it.

Paradox25's avatar

I’m a nonsmoker, but I say it depends. I know of many decent women who smoke, and I know plenty of nonsmoking women who are rather vile people. Who am I to judge someone because they smoke? Personally I find certain behaviors, and even certain perfumes, to be much more a turn off than a girl smoking many times.

augustlan's avatar

Guess nobody wants to kiss me. Hmph.

I’ve never seen a person smoking and had a reaction to it, either negative or positive. But I do find some pictures of it sexy.

flutherother's avatar

Who could forget Rachel smoking during her Voight-Kampff test in Blade Runner?

KNOWITALL's avatar

@augustlan I will!! And I do think it’s sexy, too, like the ‘I don’t give a crap’ attitude…lol
