Teens: does smoking put you off people?

[Logan]

Both. I think smoking is a real turnoff, especially when girls do. My friend started smoking and hes 14. We havent talked in months.

I wouldn't mind and have friends that smoke, there's this label that if people smoke they are bad, crazy, or wild but that's not true. I wouldn't mind a gf that smokes as well. But what I would do is that I would try my utmost best to help them quit or just gently push the issue because I'd worry about their health. I love my friends and I"m sure I'd love my gf (if i had one..lol), so I'd worry about the affects it can have in the future. But smoking wouldn't put me off to be their friend or increase my want to be their friend.

All the best

I know some of my friends smoke
but never in front of me
so i don't judge them on it so much
but if it was a potential boyfriend
then they probably wouldn't be so potential anymore

It depends on the person...some people can smoke occasionally only outside and have good hygiene and you could never know they even smoke.

And some people smell like they've rolled in an ash tray and smoke every hour on the hour.




It all depends on the person + your preference.

Depends on how much they smoke AND what they smoke.
If they need it, it's a definite turn-off for potential girlfriend. My dad smokes ciggarettes; I hate the smell of smoke, nor do I like second-hand inhaling it.

If it's some occasional thing, then it's not that bad.

Weed on the other hand...I'm honestly not sure. There's a lot of potheads at my school, but I don't know any of the ones who smoke it casually.
Just the loudmouths who think they're badass for doing it.

puts me off liking them

[mooeyb]

It doen't put me off liking them but it puts me off going out with them cos they may get me addicted :O

[Ellae]

Not at all. It can be a turn on sometimes.

[Flierlmm]

Me it does. Basically because the smell of smoke just ticks me off. I hate it. Even campfires... haha
