Answer #1

First of all you shouldnt be smoking. I started smoking about the same age as you and now I regret ever trying it because I’m still smoking and it is very hard and costly to quit. Plus supporting the habit isnt exaclty cheap either.

Second, if quitting is not an option (though it definatlely should be) try not smoking around her mother, especially at her house. It shows respect not to smoke around someone who is so opposed to it.

Next, sometimes its not the act of smoking that turns people off to the smokers, but the bad persona that typically follows with a smoker I.e. someone lazy, with a bad attitude, or just an unproductive member of society. Nobody ever imagines a school teacher as a smoker, right? Its the whole guilty by association thing. So if quitting still isnt an option try to show her you ARE worth while. Be extra sweet and respectful. Go out of your way to show her what a great guy you are and that just because you smoke doesnt mean you fit inside the stereotype usually associate with smokers.

Finally, I cant stress enough how quitting would be your best option but that can be tricky. If you use the patch dont sleep in it because it will give you wicked nightmares (we’re talking waking up with cold sweats and screaming, no fun) The gum tastes really bad and didnt really work for me. And you can go to your doctor about quitting also. Somtimes they have other optons for quitting.

I hope I helped atleast a little bit..

Cheers!

Well you can try to make her like you by not smoking around the mum. Do not smoke around your girlfriend either because she’ll probably smell of smoke and then the mum will dislike you more. Try this for your relationship!

Answer #3

Consider not smoking anymore, that stuff will kill you. Plus it’s not very attractive.

Answer #4

Dude, you should first identify the things that she might hate you for? you mentioned you smoke right? and she doesn’t want guys who are smokers.. so stop smoking. I know it’s hard but if you really love your girlfriend then you should get along with her mom. Try and hang out more with your girlfriend’s family on the weekends and help out around the house like throwing out the garbage and the like. I know it’s kinda old fashioned but hey trust me.. the only way they could ever get to really know you and you to get to know them is by you spending more time with them.
