Reply #60: The reason I brought this up was in another thread

[212demop]

asking what brand I smoke I wrote:

Marlboro Lights, but when I went on a date last week and he saw a pack in
my bag it was all over and I realized I might need to quit for the sake of my love life. Not for this guy (though as he went in for the kiss he said, "Is this going to taste like an ashtray?" I said, "What makes you think you're tasting anything tonight?" Still...) but b/c my choices are already pretty limited in Manhattan (single, straight, honest, intelligent, humorous- that's already asking a lot), and I can't afford to limit them more by requiring they be tolerant of my smoking as well, can I? I mean I'm 32 for God's sake. I'm attractive. There's no reason for me to be single. Why have a strike against me before I'm even up at bat?

But God. I really enjoy every single cigarette. Less so, I'll admit since they put this fire safe paper in, but still...

end of that post.... and back to you guys:

The response I got from a fellow Manhattan-ite in that thread suggested I'd have a lot more trouble getting dates in the future... That's why I've solicited your opinions here. I'm appreciating this discussion.

Just wanted to mention that- thanks. :)
