I absolutely would not date a smoker. I would allow some time to switch to vaping. I am currently single, but I am drawing a line in the sand - switch to vaping or quit altogether. Who's with me? Who's against me? Most importantly, why? To me, it's the health issue, with a heavy dose of the fun issue of vaping.
Would you refuse to date a smoker who refuses to switch to vaping?

With 27 years under my belt I'ld just have to say "good luck" to you 
It's all about compromise & respect for eachother.
So that's why no one has kissed me for those 30 years! lol
Seriously, as an ex-smoker who is vaping, I don't think I would have a problem. I know where they are coming from, and my vaping would definitely keep me away from their smoking. I may not be thrilled with it, but I could deal.
lol id be fine with it, when I smoked it never stopped the females you know every one needs love even smokers. if I never smoked id maybe be more towards them stopping but as im a ex smoker I understand they smoke and it aint my place to force my options on them. im going completly to vapeing soon hopefully but my miss doesnt seem to want to, shes still unsure how safe it is and im not going to bash her with why she should. would seem dumb and unfair to force vapeing onto her the same way she doesnt force things onto me, like them stupid plays I hate but she loves lol.
I haven't had a cigarette in 3 years, and I have come to hate the smell, but I would be a narrow minded fool if I let a great human being out off my life just because he did not handle his addiction to the same substance I am addicted to in exactly the same way I do.
I would though, probably have him use a mouthwash before any heavy kissing -

Cigarettes and e juice are not the same substance. A narrow minded fool would be a person addicted to nicotine and chooses to continue the option that has thousands of chemicals that are not nicotine,....once shown there is another option. After you are hooked on a person, the situation is different. I was talking about starting a relationship or allowing a person into your life - not the other way around.

Pretty sure the word "substance" was used in reference to nicotine, not cigarettes vs eliquid.
If everyone thought with that mentality, there would be a lot more single smokers. I'm sure not all of us that smoked only dated other smokers. My wife doesn't smoke now, and she did not smoke when we got together. She absolutely hated me smoking, and everything about it. She stuck with me though, and now we are married, have a child, bought a house together and are very happy together. These things all happened before I started Vaping. Sure am glad she didn't draw a line in the sand when contemplating a possible relationship with me, we would have both missed out on something beautiful.

Agreed. That was the time before vaping, so it's not really the point I'm addressing.
Heck no man! Just spray em down with Lysol every hour or so and keep feeding them the TicTacs. Good to go!!!
I don't think I would let smoking stop me getting to know someone. I would show that person a better alternative and hope that they would try it, but I don't think I would let smoking get in the way of love.
I vape but I still struggle with analogs did really good in the beginning but stress entered my life. I would date someone who smokes just because I don't want anyone to judge me. When someone is smoking the last thing they need is somebody to be critical. They need positive influences to be able to learn more about vaping.
Smoking hot trumps smoking lol. And evenually the person will want to quit or be curious to try vaping. I certainly wouldnt blow off being happy with someone on the basis of them having a bad habit.
No, I wouldn't let that be a deciding factor at all.
Gahh... we all remember those awful girls or guys who would say they'd never date a smoker.
Who would want to sound like one of those judgemental lot.
I'm married to a smoker, I still struggle with the analogues too like the poster above but that's down to my will power more than anything. I haven't been able to get her to switch but I'd like her too although we have been discussing it and she would likely try patches(I don't mind, whatever gets one off the fags).
However I think maybe she is starting to warm to the idea and she just found out that the president at her new work vapes and they are allowed to in their offices, I just have to lead by example and hopefully she'll ask more questions.

please!!!! This sounds a lot like the xsmoker/nonsmoker mentality we are all worried will hamper our freedom to vape. How quickly we forget our own weaknesses to point out someone else's. What about love or is that a factor you have figured in on your search for partner? I hope your open for that and if so you may get a lot of things in your partner that you wouldn't have ordered in a catalogue. I don't want to hurt your feelings sorry for the rant , I have been reading all the posts about anti vaping and prejudice's leading the media instead of common sense ;(
I have been married for 33 years, so this is rather a moot point for me.. however, if for some reason I did start to date again, (only if my husband passed away, God forbid), I would not scratch a smoker off of my list of potential mates because he could be a really wonderful person and it would be very narrow minded of me, an ex-smoker, to not give him a chance to prove that to me.... However, I would ask that he please refrain from smoking indoors, or in the car if I am with him at the time - and to please brush his teeth before he kissed me.

I'd not get close to one. Funny - even though I started smoking 29 years ago, I only had relationships with 3 smokers and one was before I smoked. I've wanted incentive to quit before.
Today when I was doing some errands, it was raining out. Several people smoking around entranceways to stores. First time I really felt the stench since before I started smoking. Even when I quit cold turkey in the past, it didn't bug me like it does now!
