Sex And Smoking

Smoking is something that is becoming less and less socially acceptable. The introduction of the smoking ban in every enclosed space in Britain except private dwellings has changed the behaviour of whole swathes of society. Not only do smokers now have to make their way to designated smoking areas to get their nicotine hit, but non-smokers now frequent places that they would have previously avoided since smokers have been forced to go elsewhere.

Whether you think the ban is a good or bad thing one fact that can’t be denied is that it polarises people. Much in the same way that smoking polarises people when it comes to sex. Some people find smoking sexy, some even have a genuine fetish for it capnolagnia no less! However, particularly  if you’re a non-smoker you may think of smoking as anything from mildly off-putting when factoring it into the sexual attraction equation to a complete turn-off.

The decline in the number of smokers has I think lead to a general lowering in the tolerance of smoking partners by non-smokers. I have been  a non-smoker, smoker and ex-smoker throughout my adult life. I can say with honesty that I have at times been mildly distracted by a partner smoking, tolerant of it and hugely conscious of the habit in partners.

Even as a smoker one thing I could never say was that I found smoking itself attractive. But each to their own when it comes to sexual turn-ons at least.

  1. I know some half smoking relationships and there is a lot of small daily conflicts around smoke habbit,but finally if they love each other they winning.Everyone know that smoking is bad for us,but personally like to watch womens smoking and i see it many often(especially after all)as a sexy thing.

  2. Smoking is a filthy, vile habit. I should know…I am a smoker. Smoking can also be, in the right context, a highly erotic behavior. The shared cigarette as a prop in flirtation lends itself to the brushing of hands as the item is passed. I love the sight of a sexy woman holding a cigarette, placing it into her mouth, wrapping her lips seductively around it, drawing slowly on it as the tip glows red and then casually exhaling the cloud of smoke which curls into the air. A friend of mine with whom I used to go clubbing back in the 80s used to say “if she smokes, she fucks.” I have no scientific data to back that up, but I did meet lots of friendly women by offering a light. Nowadays, with smoking banned in most restaurant and bars, a trip outside for a smoke offers many opportunities to make new friends.
