hello, i recently began dating a girl who has little bit of problem smoking cigarettes. i did not know she smoked when we met, although she said she had in the past, but quit. it's odd because she enjoys exercising, eating healthily, living a relatively healthy lifestyle. she talked a few times about trying to quit, but does not have the willpower/strength to at this time. i really enjoy spending time with her, but this has created somewhat of a rift. she realizes the health benefits of quitting, not to mention saving money.

now here's the messed up part. although i am opposed to smoking i sort of enjoy having a cigarette with her when we're having a drink, etc.
she does make me feel hypocrite nor pass when judgment i smoke.
still can't understand the whole addiction aspect as i've always been relatively healthy and never used drugs, etc, alcohol in moderation. although, recently i thought if u can't beat 'em, join 'em. would it be a major mistake to begin smoking so this will not be an issue between us? has anyone else been in a similar situation?

i am an educated person and completely aware of the health issues with smoking. however, it's not something i think i will become really addicted to as sports/fitness/nutrition are a big part of my life.

thanks

Girl smoking is a Turn off For me =]

i play sports myself, Im no health fitness instructor, but if you keep smoking, it may affect your life in the future and you will eventually get the smokers cough. (Unless you do already)

You will notice when you play sports, your body will start to slow down. and your stamina will decreas =]

I love basketball and thats the reason why i dont smoke... anymore =]
