I find girls who smoke very sexy. Something about it that attracts me. Does anyone else feel the same way? Or am I just 'mad'!

― S Samson, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Aah, smoking's cool. tah.

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dud, if you have to kiss them.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dud. Hacking coughs and wrinkled skin SOOOO not a good look.

― kate, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

i find it sexy too. i'm an ex-smoker and i'm still drawn to it. perhaps it's the oral fixation thing.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Generally speaking, dud. There are a couple of exceptions.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't know about that but I find that it's just sexy. It's what attracted me to my wife. It's devil may care attitude!! Very hot!

― S Samson, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dud dud dud dud dud. It amazes me there are some girls who think it looks sexy. madness.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

the thing about this is that it mostly depends on if the admirer smokes or not, doesn't it? for me, girls who smoke are girls who won't give me shit about smoking. and when i quit, it wont matter that much.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

Maybe it madness because of fiends like me! But I find it sexy and rebellious. Me? I don't smoke. Interferes with my morning jogs.

― S Samson, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

Smoking fetish websites are much more popular in America than anywhere else, probably cos it's more taboo there.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

I thought we had a picture thread of girls smoking, but I must have been thinking of the girls with guns thread. Oh, silly me.

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!!!

― Sarah Hotnights (coco), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, I would not say that it was a fetish! You Brits and your fetishes! : - D

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Smoking is taboo here? Maybe in LA and some upsale restaurants, but I think that's about it.

― Sarah McL (coco), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

I wasnt saying you had the fetish but the fetish does exist, oh yes.

Sarah - ah well then it's inexplicable.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Depends on the girl.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

actaully it depends on the way they hold their cigarette.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Smoking is Taboo is Beantown too. My wife just quit, I never found it attractive that she smoked even though I did too. She made funny faces when she smoked.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

classic. it's not like i have a fetish about it though.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

I like stinky people and therefore find girls who smoke very attractive.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dud, ceteris paribus.

― Rockist Scientist, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fucking classic. Esp. girls who leave lippy on white-tips.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

Honestly, smoking is a bit of a dud in anyone of any gender.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

big dud.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, gygax!, I'm not normally attracted to girls, but those 2 on the horses are alright.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

never really thought about it. cigarette smoke is fairly horrible.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

seriously, i know a couple of girls who look like those guys (they were cowboy hats too).

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

Like Ned, Dud with exceptions.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 17:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

to answer the question, i think i used to when i was younger, but let me qualify this:

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.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Now, girls drinking pints on the other hand.

― Cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 18:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Couldn;t care less for any visual effect, but the stench and the occasional nic fit it will induce in me makes it a major DUD. And kissing a mouth that tastse and smells like an ashtray ain't too hot.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 18:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

I know I have to give up smoking but I'm not looking forward to it. I'm also sad that cigarette advertising has now been banned in the UK. I could never understand why someone didn't think of putting a big sign on the side of a bus saying "'Ere, you could get hit by this tomorrow! Go on, have a fag".

― SittingPretty (sittingpretty), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 18:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's not only very sexy (on boys as well as girls), it's big and clever. Coughing and wheezing isn't, but I have managed to keep up my level of those despite giving up smoking 15 months back. Best of both worlds!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

The effects of smoking are totally yucky yet people who smoke can be so attractive.

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

total dud...smoking is for idiots

― jack (sweatypalms1234), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is one of the worst problems with DDB's, is they tend to smoke and this makes them taste and smell bad. DDB's should smell of sweat and pheremones and, erm, dirt. Not smoke and ashes. ick. This was part of the appeal of Whoreton - the rare DDB who didn't smoke. :-(

― kate, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

kate are you forgetting inscence or are DDBs different in the UK?

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Pachouli

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Of course I didn't forget patchouli, Ed, considering that you had to open my new bottle! Either that or a hint of Nag Champra. (sp?)

Patchouli = smell of hippie or smell of goth.

Goth + Hippie = DIRTY DRONEROCK BOY/GIRL!!!

Glad we've figured that one out.

― kate, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

People who use such phrases as "smoking is for idiots": resounding dud.
People who smoke: I couldn't care less. Except that there seems to be a certain correlation between skinniness and smoking... (fat appreciation or the lack thereof revealed as the basis of all aesthetic debates on ilx. Shocker!)

― -M, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

I smoke and I'm still fat. :(

― Amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

One great thing about a girl who smoke is you know she isn't going to be VEHEMENTLY ANTI-SMOKING which is perhaps the greatest dud of all.

― Aaron A., Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

totally classic esp when chewing gum and standing with one hand on hip in a striped t-shirt

― schnell schnell, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 20:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chewing gum while smoking - is this common practice?

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 20:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Nicotene gum, clearly, for maximum wiredness.

― kate, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 20:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Or wierdness, if you are Whoreton.

I think this, from Barthelme's 'Visitors', is one of the most romantic passages in all literature!

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!

― Sarah Hotnights (coco), Thursday, 6 March 2003 19:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Many people who smoke cigarettes do not enjoy the fact that they do so. Quitting is infinitessimally easier to manage without the whinings of non-smokers who share your living space - I air the place out and do my best to alleviate side-smoke, but further than that will not be dictated to in my own house (and am not in the situ. where am moving into non-smoking flatshare). For years I was the non-smoker in a family home full of the beasts so don't think I have no sympathy with those of you who like fresh air; I do too.

It's not just the smoking, but the rummaging for the fags in their bag, opening the pack and especially *lighting* the thing that's damn sexy. And stubbing it out.

christ dr c, what is this, smoking porn?

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 6 March 2003 20:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Smoking porn = holding the fag in yr foot. (Hey, I just found that I can smoke using my foot rather than my hand! This is gd news if I lose my arms through cancer, obv.)

God bless Jerry the N for reprinting that beautiful bit of Barthelme. The "case of Mazola" line esp. hit the spot.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Thursday, 6 March 2003 23:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Obv smoking is sexy because it draws attention to the mouth and hands.

(All you smoker haters have seemingly neglected to wonder why people smoke if it has no redeeming qualities whatever.)

No, it's not all chemical addiction. I've proven perfectly able to quit in certain circumstances and resume smoking in others. And reigning conventional wisdom aside, I don't think cigarette advertisements and peer pressure are by themselves sufficient to explain why so many people around the world start smoking.

― S Samson, Friday, 7 March 2003 10:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

vehement anti-smoking attitude = classic classic classic
I think that is one of the reasons I started smoking. Never liked intolerant people, especially anti-smokers.

I really (*cough cough*) like the sexist comments some people make - pro/anti smoking remarks.

― nathalie (nathalie), Friday, 7 March 2003 10:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Maybe Stevie is right; it could be construed as sexism but at the same time, maybe smoking could be an archetypical feminist approach to social misdemenours? I.E. Going back to a time where smoking was considered 'unladylike'?

I nominate Miss Ryder as the hottest female smoking actress!

I suppose there are people of all genders and all sexual inclinations that find stupidity in a partner attractive, or at least 'safe' and non-ego-threatening. Smoking might fall into that category for them. Otherwise I just don't understand the attraction.

I only started smoking because A) I was told it'd stunt my growth (it did) B) I really, really hate vehement anti-smokers. I don't particularly like smoking, it's a nervous habit and I plan to quit, but jesus, you stand on the street 40 feet away from someone and they feel the need to shout at you, from 40 feet away, that you are killing them.

While standing in the path of bus fumes.

Oh and no one has ever complained about the taste of my mouth! They could just keep it to themselves or as said personality/skill might count for more than ashtray.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 9 March 2003 23:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Being a non-smoker I can always, ALWAYS taste the smoke when kissing a smoker and it is disgusting.

― ali (ali), Thursday, 27 March 2003 21:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

not quite a dud. far better that there not be smokiness, but it seems a shame to let that stand between you and a good snog.

Contact all her friends and relatives and arrange an intervention! Or just look at her quizzically and with a hint of dismay; she'll understand what you are thinking without your having to say a word.

― Aimless, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:54 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

What sucks is those girls who smoke but, between puffs, hold the fag out behind them and as far from their bodies/friends as possible (but really close to other tables/people, and at perfect height to burn skin/clothes of passers-by).
