Smokers

[Guest110920]

I don't have anything against providers who smoke. Several are regulars. I do wish that everyone who smokes would be aware of their breath however. Toothpaste and/or mint chewing gum do wonders. BTW if you're wondering if this is about you, if I've seen you more than once, it's not.

Well OK...but it's a lot better than not having it. I do know a few who cover it well.

My ex was a smoker and she cleaned up and rarely smelled. So it can be done, but a lot of the odor comes from the lungs not much you can do about that. I like a product called Thera Breath (blue bottle)it seems to eliminate many odors instead of just masking them.

some of the worst breath i've ever smelled was from non smokers

Smokers breath. NO GO.

But what if a provider is a non smoker & a client shows up and has a cigarette right before the appointment how much does it bother the provider. I'm a non smmoker and it a big turn off for me.

We aren't allowed to show that we are upset at a client about anything. That'll land us a nice little thread in the He-Man-Women-Hating club

It would be good if we were all more considerate of each other, clients included.

I want to make sure it's clear that what I posted wasn't meant as a blanket condemnation of smokers. With most of the smoking providers I know, it's fine. Occasionally with someone new, it isn't.

Considering the amount dropped on a 1 or 2 hour appointment, it's hard not to be disappointed when you realize the provider's breath is going to smell like an ashtray the whole time. I find it very distracting. It may be that I'm overly sensitive to it. I don't smoke, but I chew a whole pack of spearmint gum on the way to every appointment to try to make sure my breath is good. I'm not saying a provider should have to go to that extreme but some basic steps are definitely appreciated.

A lot of non smokers (me included) feel very strongly about kissing smokers. I know I've been with my share of smoker providers. Some are honest, some are not. If I don't actually see them smoke, I usually wouldn't question in the review, but it's kinda hard to miss.

I personally would never date a smoker. Huge turn off. But I can date you for an hour if you have good mouthwash!

Danielle, I wouldn't think there'd be anything wrong with not seeing smokers. Is it really different than NBA or other personal preferences? Yes, people would bitch but people bitch about basically everything.
