In next week I going to live with smoking girlfriend. I fully accept her habit, but I wanna ask you how I should treat her. I have fears that I will not be able to understands her cravings.

[KWSmoker]

Are you interested and willing to give smoking a try yourself? You’ll begin to understand once you give smoking a chance yourself.

[Heh]

I am considering this, but I have 29 years. Is not too late? I have never smoked. What you see in this?

[masklofumanto]

Don't pick up smoking for someone else's sake. Neither should your girlfriend quit for yours. Truly accept each other for who and what you are and take it from there. I, for one, think your concerns are probably groundless. As to how to treat her, treat her as someone you love and whose happiness matters to you. If you do that everything else should take care of itself.

[Heh]

Maybe you have right. I'm asking because I heard from friend that non-smoker never had understood smoker in relationship.

[masklofumanto]

You know back when I was growing up smokers married to non-smokers was common place, and those couples didn't seem to have any problems understanding each other. Over the last 20 years anti-smoking fanatics have succeeded in creating a lot of hysteria which divides people. Don't make your friend's views your own. You are perfectly capable of thinking for yourself and making the relationship with your girlfriend what the two of you want it to be.

First and foremost treat her like a lady. Never hesitate to be a gentleman and light her cigarettes.

Just accept that she is a smoker. You don't have to understand her cravings. Just remember if she doesn't smoke she will have cravings. She will have a personality change. So be understanding and a bit thick skinned.

Like others have typed, starting smoking to please someone else is not the best reason to start. If you chose to start, it must be to please yourself and only yourself.

So good luck!

My Gawd, She’s a smoker not a Leper! You won’t catch cooties.

I hope you start smoking because, you yourself want to be a smoker, not to please your smoking friend.
