i was starting to like this girl, but then i found out she smokes anything and everything. i am talking more than a pack a day here, and honestly i find it disgusting. then for some reason i thought maybe i am being shallow and borderline prejudice against people who smoke? i mean i will admit i have smoked a cigar a few times to celebrate but it wasn't really that enjoyable to me.
am i a shallow dude for ruling out smokers from my list of potential dates?

i do find it particularly unbecoming for a lady to smoke.

I'm still pretty tolerant to smokers though, even though I don't smoke myself. |

It's your tastes, much the same way some people aren't attracted to brunettes or blondes. You happen to not be attracted to smokers. Whatever. |

You should have to go to R.J. Reynolds and personally prostrate yourself in front of their corporate offices and beg for forgiveness from everybody your irrational hate has hurt. The workers, their families, the family pets your refusal to encourage smoking has made eat generic brand pet food because they have had to take pay cuts, hospital personnel who have been laid off because they don't have the same number of emphysema patients to look after. The consequences of your smokism are dire and complicated.

honestly im just getting back out there, the last chick i tried to hook up with ended up being a psycho and scared me away from the dating scene for awhile.  just in the past week i have met two girls that may not be crazy and ones that can tolerate me.

I'll admit to being a bit two-faced, I do smoke cigars every now and again...but hey, it's my opinion and I get to have it.
