How to Be a Smoker and Date a Nonsmoker

Step1
Purchase the supplies. Make a short stop at any local drugstore and you will be able to easily find all the supplies on the list.
Step2
Curb your habit. This involves knowing when you should not smoke around your date. If they are so disgusted by the habit that you are reading this article, then chances are you need to not smoke in front of them or around them, period! Instead pop a piece of nicotine gum in and get your fix that way.
Step3
Cover up the smell of smoke. If you must step outside for a quick smoke while with your date, make sure you don’t smell afterwards. A short trip to the bathroom will give you the time you need to clean up. First wash your hands thoroughly, including underneath your fingernails. Then rinse your mouth with the mouthwash, and use a spray of the fragrance spray, making sure your hair gets a touch.
Step4
Practice makes perfect. The more you remind yourself to go through these steps, the less you will hear your date complaining about your habit.
