Sorry if this has been discussed before.  I did try a search and all it turned up was a lot of "What are you smoking" slam comments.

I've had guys who I have seen for years, and never knew I smoked until we went somewhere off the clock. Others, smoke with me during break time outside. Some people can always tell because they are sensitive to smoke or have allergies, and some can't. Anyone saying you can ALWAYS tell is full of shit, because they can't possibly know what "another person" can pick up on. My mother never knew my dad was smoking on the times he claimed to have quit, and duh...they are MARRIED. I was the one who busted his ass lol. She was like, "No...I don't think so, because I would have smelled it on him." Ha. Guess not.  

Its on your clothes, in your car and even on your skin.  Hard to get rid of.

Stop smoking for couple of months or so... All the trapped odor will go away. You would have washed all your clothes a dozen or so times.  

so is ANYTHING you eat or drink. Ever eat too much garlic? That stuff secretes from your damn sweat glands, and other places lol. Same principle with people on High Protein diets...BLUCK! There are ways to mask the smells of various things, though some noses will always pick it up.

I can relate to both sides here, I smoked for almost twenty years and quit about 25 years ago, I am not one of those that bash smokers, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that brushing your teeth, etc is like mopping a floor that is rotten under the tile, the top might be clean but you can never get rid of the smell from beneath. Sorry.

That said, breath mints, refraining from smoking for as long as possible before a session, etc will definitely help but I assure you if your date is a non smoker she will still be able to taste it on you, and depending on her sensitivity you might get LFKs where a non smoker will be getting DFKs.

I don't smoke, and its none of my business if you or anyone else does, its your life. I chew tobacco and thats my vice. Most of the women i see are smokers, and i bet most of the ones you will see smoke too. Most of the time you can always smell it a little, and then there are times not at all. I belong to AA, Altoids Anonymous, to try and keep my breathe as fresh as possible during a date. I usually go through a can of Altoids every 2 dates. So have fun, RELAX

lifetime smoker will never be able to mask the taste. I don't smoke but the lifetime smoking women I have kissed tasted like an ashtray.

I knew you were going to be helpful, and witty, as always.

the qualities i value highest in a suitor, or potential suitor, have a lot more to do with the way he treats me -- and the way he treats others -- than whether or not he smokes.

but my clubbing days were in the era when EVERYBODY smoked in bars. I always came home stinking of stale smoke, clothes, skin, hair, etc. I would hang my clothes up outdoors rather than let them stink up my apartment.

last Nov. The provider I see talked me in to stopping. my SO smokes around me My friend still's smell's it on me. Not much you can do to get the smell off!

Good stuff in that thread.  (Missed it by THAT much... my search was 300 days..LOL)

Lancaster is awesome motorcycle country.  I feel a summer sexpidition coming on...

you can ALWAYS smell it on or around someone who smokes. You can't hide it in any way, shape or form. It is always there. Ok here it comes...but I'll be nice...

I've had clients that smoke and I can always tell whether or not they smoked before they saw me.

I smoke cigars from time to time, but I've never smoked a cigarette in my life.

...before i ride YOU? yes, my family is hugely into motorcycles and immersed in motorcycle culture... and Lancaster is indeed perfect motorcycle country!  plenty of winding back roads and beautiful scenery to be enjoyed!   i love it here!

I LOVE having a girl on the back, all snuggled up tight.  

Mostly whether they are a smoker themselves and how sensitive their olfactory senses are.

The question is:  Why is that important to you?

Do you wonder if a gal will not want to see you if you are a smoker?

I would not let it bother you.  I'd say half of providers are smokers themselves, and most of the rest are rather inured to smokers, so it should not matter.

I would rather a world where no one smokes, that that ain't this world.

I have a wonderful time with providers who smoke and those who don't smoke.  It's a non-issue to me, and I think a non-issue to all but a few.

Personal hygiene is a much more important factor.  Fortunately that is one we can have more control over too.

Well said. Some of the very same people who scoff at smoking, have a vagina that smells like it was caught in a fkin net!

but there are many things you can do to mitigate it, and to all but the most sensitive people it will be a non issue.

I can't stand kissing a woman that tastes like an ashtray,nor do I like getting really up close and personal with a lady whose hair reeks of tobacco, but if a woman takes steps to minimize the smoke odor, even if I notice it's not much of an issue unless it's overpowering, I would imagine that same holds true for the lady's who must see clients that smoke.
