This is absolutely not a surprise to me at all.
According to stats from the dating app Hinge, men who self-identify being a smoker are absolutely killing themselves for hooking up with someone.
According to newly released statistics from the the dating app Hinge, men who self-identify as smokers are rejected 89 percent of the time. In other words, they’re 61 percent more likely to be rejected than their smoke-free counterparts.
Similarly:
A survey published in February from Match.com and the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer found that 89 percent of people on Match.com preferred to date a non-smoker.
Remember, the old days when the tobacco companies promoted cigarettes as sexy and alluring. No more. Smoking is a major turnoff for a lot of people — the smell, the secondhand smoke, etc. Seinfeld was ahead of it’s time!
I love a couple of the comments on this story (I don’t comment on HuffPost anymore.)
I always thought some anti-tobacco ads should emphasize the butt breath people get from smoking. The stank in their hair, clothes, skin, saliva (yes, try kissing a smoker – ugh) is disgusting right along with the yellow fingers and teeth. I always chuckle when I see a smoker put on cologne or perfume – what’s the point? It’s like spraying Fabreeze on a turd.
I am a smoker and have no complaints with your post. It is a horrible and useless habit.
