Let's face it, people who smoke have an addiction. Why would any person without an addiction want to date or marry a person with an addiction? An addict does not have total control over his or her life. The drug that they are addicted to, has partial control over every aspect of their life. They can't function without the drug of choice.Throughout the day, the addict has to get a fix. With smokers, the drug is nicotine. Some might laugh because I'm comparing nicotine to heroin, cocaine and alcohol, but they are all drugs . . .Some even feel that addiction is a sign of mental weakness . . . No offense to smokers, but I think so.
