ho ho, oh they sure are those things! brings back such good memories
Well, I’d like to have a relationship with said woman, but without her smoking. If I get her to quit it would be mutually beneficial since it won’t be aggravating my asthma or having her destroy herself. I really don’t know what to do.
Just break all of her fingers so she can’t light or even hold cigarettes.
And I know what you’re thinking, but no worries, a maid can take up cooking.
Jesus.
Yeah, who are you to tell the girl you love not to poison herself and endanger your health when you are around, you selfish prick!?!
It’s the girl’s choice to “poison” herself (which is a lie, but there you go), what right does anyone else have to barge in, tell her to stop smoking in order to “earn the right” with a weaker human male?
If I got the concept of “love” right (which is doubtful since it doesn’t exist), a male would do anything to be with one specific female (and vice-versa), even if that means he would endanger himself. Each participant in a relationship should easily be able to co-exist with their flaws.
Smoking is poisonous…both to the smoker and to those around the smoker.
Not like it causes poisoning. All it does stain your teeth, make your teeth rock, burn your throat and lungs, makes you look like an old fart, etc. But you can’t just go “raaaaargh I’m going to poison you now! blows smoke in face”.
So yes, there’s poison going on while smoking, but it’s not like she’s (or any smoker for that matter) is poisoning herself.
However, it’s of no concern anyway, the girl smokes, he’s weak… So he either really loves her and goes for it, or they’re not meant to be together and he should stop worrying.
:what:
Sorry, my definition of poisoning yourself = killing yourself, either instantly or slowly. Smoking does not grant the certainty of death.
Sorry. My definition of poisoning is the condition caused by the consumption (eating, drinking, breathing) of a substance that is designed to either destroy life or impair health.
You can be poisoned for many years without dying…but that poisoning will eventually impair your health to such an extent that other maladies (maladies you wouldn’t get without said poison) such as emphysema, lung cancer, or death afflict you.
Well that’s settled then, the girl poisons herself, and you still shouldn’t give a rat’s ass about that because it’s none of your business.
If she cares about the guy, then perhaps she should stop poisoning him with her choice…?
Also, she shouldn’t be poisoning those around her, but that’s not what we’re talking about.
@Pokemon Eater: Bolteh and Sassy are right, you can’t just demand she quits. Either you are fine with it or you don’t date her. You can ask her not to smoke on your face (which is reasonable). She might end up quiting on her on, but you can’t count on that.
Depending on how things work out, you should be able to tell her how you feel about her smoking and that it would benefit her own health if she stopped smoking. That is just being honest, and you should be honest in a relationship, but it is important that you don’t sound judgmental at all. You can’t be weak (that is true for almost anything you do) but you can’t push it hard either.
Now excuse-me, I’ll die slowly for having agreed with Bolteh.
Danson’s a pretentious prick most of the time, didn’t you get the memo?
If you have that big of a problem with smoking and it’s that big of a deal you shouldn’t date people who smoke. That being said most smokers are reasonably nice people (although most are treated like subhuman scum) and would probably easily make an accommodation not to smoke near you if you ask nicely. Is that a deal-breaker in the relationship? =/
Of course he wants that - he loves that girl! Why would he NOT care about her damaging her own health (and that of those around her)?
With that, I have no problem. Only with your “zero empathy” policy of posting.
Just doin’ my best to blend in around here. Still not pretentious or prick enough, I guess. Otherwise it wouldn’t be noticed. Looks like I have to use more fucking curse-words and insults, eh, morons? 
Pretty much, you fucking cunt blasting tit whipper
