Why The Stigmatisation Of Women Who Smoke? by Nobody: 12:13pm On Nov 26, 2021
I'm as very light smoker- at most, three to four cigarettes a week...

I'm very young, and I started smoking two years ago...

In our society, if a woman is known to be a smoker... She's looked down on... And false assumptions are made of her personality...

Why the stigmatisation? I know men are victims too but women who smoke are viewed as classless etc... While with men, it's simply a bad habit...

What's your opinion on women who smoke? And what's your reason?

I would appreciate comments based on experiences rather than bias...

And I need valid points how SMOKING directly indicates a wayward woman...

Thanks!

Women who smoke are poor examples of what a lady is supposed to be and should be avoided at all costs.

Wife material is costly because wife material is rare. Every women is not a wife.

Certain red flags allow you to separate the quality from those who are merely quantity. A woman who smokes doesn't truly value herself, her image, or even her own health.

Like I clearly stated... No cultural bias... I don't need your, "women should be this or that" lectures!

A woman who smokes, how does she not value herself?

As for her image, that's the point of this post... Why smoking damages the image of a woman and not a man! Can you answer this?

And the only drawback to smoking is it's impact on one's health... But do you care that men smoke more? Are you concerned about their health also? Plus, there are a million bad habits...that could kill faster... undecided

Smoking in general is something that's attached to a wayward life... A man who smokes may be seen as an irresponsible man, infact society of today will quickly say he's a useless man... But hell no, not all who smoke are irresponsible...

As for women who smoke out of any reason... Will always get harsh treatment from the public cos, the society sees women as gentle and tender creature who should not be caught in such act... I won't blame the society for looking down on women cos from my observation 84% of women who smoke lives a wayward life... The rest are just addicted to it... That's just the way it's, even me I classify women who not only smoke, but pierce their nose as wayward (I need to change that thinking, I know this)... Well OP just live ur life the way it pleases you, so long as u don't affect the life of others

Nice contribution! Why can't you marry a woman who smokes tho?

You vibe well with women who do... I think it's because you want a solid image... But it women who smoke weren't stigmatised, then there would be no need for this... undecided

Another issue is that a white woman smoking is more tolerated in black communities than black women who smoke.

Assume you're engaged to a Dutch lady, and she's a light smoker... Is she also disqualified?

I'm just trying to see things from the perspective of a man... smiley

If you can maintain a very good oral and body hygiene, smoke is no big deal to me. People smoke for different reasons.

First of all I don't judge people or my reaction towards people based on the color of their skin, that's racist, white or black or yellow, woman is woman to me, same reason I won't wife a Nigerian girl is the same reason I won't wife the Dutch one, its my principle

Thanks! I remember a day I spent with a boy... He's in his twenties...

He was extremely nice, tried to flirt... But he was shy...

One thing led to another, we ended up in his friend's home smoking cigarettes and Arizona...

We vibed really well... Only, he assumed I was in a cult!

Thought I was a bad girl... Started speaking street slangs... I couldn't even understand him!

Like, I enjoy smoking... Doesn't mean I'm wayward... It's simply pleasurable... And if I'm with someone who doesn't smoke, I don't...

I really like you! Honestly...

Not...

People who smoke are wayward...

I know not all people who smokes are way ward, but the number of the wayward people far out Numbered the cool headed smokers...

Society will see 500 wayward smokers before they see 5 cool headed smokers... Hence their believe that all smokers are wayward

Although to me, it's irresponsible for a woman to smoke, but still can be friends with one in a non-romantic way.
