Well I do not smoke. But it has almost killed my mom, she is only 56. Been sick for years. She has quit for good again we hope. \n\nIf I were you, I would try to quit. Yes, some ppl do gain weight. Talk to a doctor if you can. You need to replace it with something else. \n\nYes, I have heard how addictive and hard it is to give up. From my mom and others.\n\nNot sure, but thought I read for men it can decrease sperm count? \n\nAnything bad for you is not good for your body and will not help your sex life at all!!! Esp. if you get so you can't breath and have to be put on oxygen!!!! Sorry, just my mom has been so close to death so many times. Her lungs are not good at all.

I don't like smoking at all, so it would be difficult to be with someone else who smokes! It's a smelly and dirty habit! For me it is a total turn off and it's not attractive at all! Who wants to kiss someone who tastes like smoke? Yuck!!

Some of the Harmful effects smoking can cause are:\n\n1.straining on your heart and blood vessels.\n\nThe mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.\n\n2. heart attacks and stroke.\n\n It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers even end up having their limbs \namputated because of this.\n\n3. causes cancer.\n\nTar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney.A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.\n\n4. Emphysema.\n\nEmphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs away. Most People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.\n\n5. Lung cancer.\n\nLung cancer is caused by the tar in the tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.\n\n6. block blood vessels.\n\nSmoking causes fat deposits to narrow which is why blood vessels become blocked which leads to heart attack.\n\nI could go on and on but i am sure you want an answer today \n1-6 are the most common effects of smoking. Their are so many, You take a big risk with your health when you start to smoke. I hope i answed your ? to your liking.

Honestly, I have never heard of it.\n\nHowever, one of the things that smoking does is make your blood platelets stick together...While you're smoking, this increases your risk of stroke, which is why it's a bad thing.\n\nMaybe your platelets have un-stuck, making it easier for the blood cells to come thru small openings caused by the periodontal disease?\n\nReally, that's pretty much a wild guess.  I think you should call your dentist.

There are so many things that smoking does to the body. The really sad fact is that it does not just hurt the smoker. It really does effect all persons around them. \nA smoker has increased risk of respiratory and vascular complications. Smoking actually creates a tar substance in the lungs and decreases the persons capacity to take in oxygen. Also smokers veins and arteries are constricted from chemicals in the cigarettes. This puts them at a higher risk for blood clot causing stroke.\nMothers who smoke when they are pregnant usually have smaller babies. A nonsmokers umbilical cord (which supplies nourishment to the baby) is usually about wide as a roll of quarters and the smokers umbilical cord is about as thick as a pencil. \nChildren who grow up in the home of a smoker are at higher risk for developing asthma and/or allergies. They can develop lung cancer just as easily as the actual smoker can. Not to mention that growing up with parents who smoke puts them at higher risk for becoming smokers themselves. \nI have a grandfather that smokes. He is eighty. The last several years he has been on oxygen. He wakes up at night because he can't get his breath. He has a barrel chest because that is what your body does to try and help you get more oxygen. Your lungs try to get bigger so they can take in more oxygen because the cigarettes have destroyed portions of the lungs over the many years of smoking. Some people would say he has made it to eighty and that is a long time for a smoker to live. You have to keep in mind that most of his family lived into or close to their 100's. They say that every cigarette takes five minutes off your life. There is no telling how long he could have lived if he had just been able to stop smoking.

Any kind of smoke is bad for you. If you smoke once in ahwile its not that bad. If you smoke as much as my roomate does then you may get cancer or have trouble breathing.

That would be Excercise, it can do both. Smoking won't help you loose weight, and it won't affect your period. It will ruin your lungs, put you at risk of cancer, stain your teeth, give you wrinkles, age your skin, put an unborn child at risk, make your clothes, car and  house smell bad,and many other unpleasant and dangerous things. Stop the cigs and do more excercise, your life will be much better.

Depends on whether he smokes or not.  A boyfriend once told me, "Kissing you is like licking the bottom of an ashtray."  I quit not long after that!

My boyfriend smoked, and i swore i would never date anyone who did but we have now been together for 2 1/2 years and at first its hard to get use to...I didnt kiss him at first untill he brushed his teeth.  It doenst taste great, but thats life.  If you dont like smokers then dont date one and dont kiss one.  If you can look past that and see the person themself and not just what they do you can get past kissing a smoker. I love my boyfriend with all my heart and he hasn't smoked for about 5 months now, just stoped one day and hasn't started since, he knew i didnt like it and even though it took him 2 years to stop he did and he did it because he loved me enough to stop doing it.  I myself never smoked in my life and i never will.  So not all people who are married or dating smokes are or once were smokers themselves.

Yes, there are risks involved, as with any sexual act where blood, semen, or vaginal secretions have the potential to enter your bloodstream.  Everyone has minute fisures on their gums where there can be transferrance of these fluids into your blood stream.  Oral sex is considered to have a much lower risk factor than vaginal or anal sex without protection.  If you want to lessen this risk, don't brush your teeth for at least six hours prior to doing this act.  But don't bet on getting a second date...\n\nI'm sure that many will find this hard to believe (see supporting documentation below) but your risk lessens if you swallow quickly rather than letting it remain in your mouth or spitting it out where it passes past your gums again.

It isn't really the cigarette that's attractive, or the act of smoking.  The cigarette is just a prop.  It draws attention to the woman's mouth which is a very sexy part of a woman.  It's associated with all kinds of things... kissing... cute little pouts... moans... and of course, o.r.a.l sex.

Possible.  Smoking is bad for your health all the way around.  It has been known to restrict the arteries, thereby decreasing the bloodflow to the heart and brain.  So, I'm saying, yeah, sounds right.  I'm guessing he told you that to make sure you never start smoking, and I hope you never do.  Terrible, nasty, expensive habit (I know, I smoked for 11 years) that will only kill you early and painfully.  Don't bother with it.

contributes to many types of cancer, emphazymia and other breathing problems. Besides the fact that cigarettes are really expensive and addicting and makes you smell bad. It also affects the people around you.

A big con (other than it rots your gums and your teeth and the spitting is a big turn off????):\n\nI would equate kissing a guy who chews with kissing an overflowing ashtray filled with liquified cigar butts.\n\nGROSS!  There is not enough Listerine, Scope, mints, gum, brushing, or flossing to get that nasty smell from your mouth or the nasty flavor chew gives off (even days after you've done so) when kissing...\n\nIf that doesn't convince you I don't know what else will.\n\nCancer of the gums?  Brown teeth?  :))

Depends on how good there teeth/gums were in the first place. My friend chewed for 3 months and ended up with mouth cancer. I would rather kiss a smoker than a chewer.
