Girls smoking in their 20s - can be fairly cute, but sometimes just looks like they're trying to fit in.
Girls in their 50s who have been smoking their entire lives - YIKES!!!

when i was 13-17 (well... just say until 17), i was attracted "bad girls"/troublemakers/rebels. more often than not, these girls smoked.
when everyone turned 18, smoking wasn't as rebellious because it was legal. but i think that the fact that the my "coming of age" may have been affected by images of girls that i was involved with smoking was part of my sexual identity.
flashforward to today.
hstencil is on to something when he says "depends on the girl". smoking will never make someone look more attractive in my eyes. if i find you attractive, it doesn't matter what you do, it's something greater than a bad habit.
that said, i don't smoke and i think cigarette breath and the side-effects of smoking are definitely not attractive. but i'm at the open-minded point in my life and overlook some things for the short-term.

As for anti-smoking evangelists, theyre as bad as rabid christians. If you dont smoke, fine, I respect that, I was a non smoker til very recently myself. But it shits me when I get someone like, say, my dad, who is one of those rotten born again ex-smokers, bitch me out for "killing myself" when he's on his 9th beer for the evening. ARGH.
FWIW even though I smoke I wish I didn't, but you get that.

Vehement anti-smoking attitude is reasonable and all, but it gets annoying when people feel free to constantly remind you about potentially bad decisions you're making about your own health and hygiene. I can't think of any other situation where people feel quite so free to criticize other people's habits.
― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 6 March 2003 08:17 (twenty-two years ago)
I hate smoking violently and with a passion. From living with smokers, I have to put up with the fact that *I* end up stinking of smoke, *my* clothes stink of smoke, and *I* get a recurring nasty passive smoker's cough. It's just gross. Sure, I have bad habits, I might drink a bit and am addicted to caffeine, but I don't puke over other people's clothes.
Very little makes me crosser.

* Profession = actress* Her entry in the Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
* TV/Movies she smokes in:* Primary Colors (1998) (smoking review, buy at amazon.com: VHS DVD)
"She smokes in a number of scenes, pretty aggressively, but not very attractively."
― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 6 March 2003 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)
as mentioned above, smoking guarantees not being anti-smoking. in particular it means that going to smoky places is ok, and even more importantly it means it's ok for you to get drunk and start smoking (and even better you have someone to cadge fags off!).
in my experience, the whole "kissing an ashtray" thing is complete nonsense.
smell on fingers = k-classic, as mentioned above.
possibly most of all: smoking is sexy. ok, smoking is sexy on people under the age of 30, anyway, or at least it should be: if you don't look sexy when smoking you're doing it wrong.
i'm a non-smoker, but i would definitely rather go out with a smoker than a non-smoker (ok, i'm not totally a non-smoker, but i reckon i average prob 5 cigs/year).

Standing behind Malcolm is a beautiful young woman. "This is Christie," Malcolm says. "We've just given her lunch. We've just eaten all the dim sum in the world."Bishop is immediately seized by a desire to cook for Christie-either his Eight-Bean Soup or his Crash Cassoulet. She's telling him something about her windows. "I don't care but why under my windows?" She's wearing a purple shirt and is deeply tanned with black hair-looks like an Indian, in fact, the one who sells Mazola on TV. Harry is still talking about the new president. "I mean he did his dissertation on bathing trends." "Well maybe he knows where the big bucks are." There's some leftover duck in the refrigerator he can use for the cassoulet. "Well," he says to Christie, "are you hungry?" "Yes," she says, "I am." "We just ate," Harry says. "You can't be hungry. You can't possibly be hungry." "Hungry hungry hungry," she says, taking Bishop's arm, which is, can you believe it, sticking out.Putting slices of duck in bean water while Christie watches The Adventures of Robin Hood, with Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbonne, on the kitchen TV. At the same time Hank Williams, Jr., is singing on the FM. "I like a place where I can take my shoes off," she says, as Errol Flynn throws a whole dead deer on the banquet table. Bishop, chopping parsley, is taking quick glances at her to see what she looks like with a glass of wine in her hand. Some people look good with white wine, some don't.He makes a mental note to by some Mazola-a case maybe. "Here's sixty seconds on fenders," says the radio. "Do you live with anybody?" Christie asks. "My daughter is here sometimes. Summers and Christmas." A little tarragon into the bean water. "How about you?" "There's this guy." But there had to be. Bishop chops steadfastly with his Three Sheep brand Chinese chopper, made in gray Fushan. "He's an artist." As who is not? "What kind of an artist?" "A Painter. He's in Seattle. He needs rain." He throws handfuls of sliced onions into the water, then a can of tomato paste. "How long does this take?" Christie asks. "I'm not rushing you. I'm just curious." "Another hour." "Then I'll have a little vodka. Straight. Ice. If you don't mind." Bishop loves women who drink. Maybe she smokes!

She's probably really sick of it, tbh. It's not like anyone doesn't KNOW that smoking is bad for the unborn, and everyone should quit for reals before getting pregnant, but it doesn't always happen that way plus I'm betting the hormones etc of pregnancy make up look like down and down look like up and I don't want to speculate about what they might make me do. Including stab annoying gits.
