Can smoking be sexy? I say yes.

*Disclaimer: I do not/never have smoked nor do I think it is a healthy or attractive habit in the long run*

You have to give the cigarette companies kudos for their adaptability.

Despite mounting lawsuits, decreasing market volume in North America and the entire earth waking up to the fact that injecting tar into your lungs may have long term side effects... they've never done better. I'm not talking about some snazzy new marketing campaign with the camel or the malboro man (I live in a country where tobacco advertising is virtually non-existent) or record earnings, but a brief encounter last night.

Friends and I decided to go out one weekend and ended up at a rather posh lounge. Up high in the financial district you could see the entire downtown skyline-and for $17 a martini-you were paying for it too.

We were catching up with usual college and job, etc. The topic turned quickly to female conquests, with one person talking about his follies with a nice brunette and his blackberry compulsiveness.

There she was.

On the balcony sipping what was probably a cosmopolitan, she was with 3 of her friends. With one of her girlfriends and two gay friends who probably worked in the consulting industry, she definitely stood out. She also had a clove cigarette dangling from her hand in a slinky black dress.

"Dolce? Must be from their new collec-"

"Actually, Valentino."

"Amazing, I'll assume neither of those guys are your sugar daddy's, so what's your story?"

*Insert not-as-witty-banter-here*

We exchanged numbers, even though I will never see her again. Throughout the conversation, I could not get over the feeling of arousal the first moment I gazed at her. Wearing a dress that costs more than most people's monthly salary and not even 23, and slowly destroying herself without a care in the world. Would she have been as attractive without the cloves? Hard to say.

They say marketing is about manufacturing a want and transforming it into a need. I didn't need a cigarette, but I wanted her.

ive recently had a very sexy smoking experience...it was like having sex on a different level

I say no.

Kissing girls that smoke is disgusting, I usually avoid any women that smoke cigs. Pot isn't nearly as bad, but it's still not the most pleasant experience.DragonfireXZ95

You do realize that pot stinks too, right?

Well i smoke and have done since i was about 15 i think, im 18 now, and have been going out with the same girl for four years and she doesn't like the fact i smoke. She always goes on about how i might one day get cancer and other health problems because of it when i'm older. But she doesn't mind me smoking around her and kissing her afterwards, however personally i'm a very self concious person when i smoke. If i'm around people who i know aren't smokers then i wont light up at all or i will ask and if someone says "please dont" or "i dont like it" then i wont. However i have to say if someone smokes they can still be attractive, you just have to look past the fact they smoke and ignore it to see the person for who they are.

Jessica Alba smokes and she's damn fine!

My best friend just started smoking...She's becoming an attention w.....(can't write the other letters because I got reported by some idiot last time I wrote out two other letters). You think it's fun having a girl who smells? who goes crazy? who makes me smell? Then, I come home and my parents think I smoked. I'm so pissed at her right now. She thinks that smoking is "cool". IT'S NOT. It's not sexy at all.

"Oh look at me. I'm so 1337 because I'm killing my body and causing huge problems in the future, so it will be painful when I'm 40. I can't wait till I smoke a week and a lot of my brain cells with die, so I can say how cool smoking is."
It's an addiction. You don't like it, but you need it.

Also, my friend "confused" marijuana with a cigarette. She says she NEVER does drugs. She's such a liar. She makes a big deal when she's drinking, and think it's "fun". She keeps repeating "I need to go see Kristan so I can get the smokes."

If you think smoking is cool, then you better find a lady to stinks as badly as you because girls don't like smoking, PERIOD.

/end rant.

That's called AN ADDICTION. Your body does NOT like the substance, but your MIND wants it. You like it because your brain likes it, not your body. If you smoke you should quit before you end up with a hole in your throat.

My aunts all smoke, and hate it. They can't quit because there are no pills, no clinics, no places to get help.

My friend is crazy because she thinks it's "cool". You think it's cool. Then, GTFO of public places, my life, and have fun killing yourself slowly.

I dont think that its worth anything to smoke. Even if it makes you look cool which it doesnt I would never want to do it because its very unhealthy and you could even hurt other people by second hand smoke.

Can smoking get you sick and killed? I say yes....omerdv

The smell was masked with a rather rosy scent, her teeth were flawless (as are surprisingly most of my friends who do smoke... scares them into keeping them clean?) and she actually had quite an intruiging personality.

But I do see where you're going, and yes, it is mostly true. Still doesn't mean it can't be sexy sometimes.

Sure, there are female smokers who have personality, but that doesn't change the fact that they are coughing and hacking up alot, and have yellow teeth, which basically kills any attraction that girl had for me. And also, there are girls who have great personalities and originalities that don't smoke, and you can have great conversations with anyone who doesn't smoke, but yes, you can have some nice conversations with smokers as well. I don't have anything against smokers, but most female smokers I know don't physically attract me.
