My girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me because of cigars

The attitudes of friends and significant other’s can impact your enjoyment of the hobby. This ranges from participating or encouraging - to ambivalence to darn right opposition. The real challenge is that attitudes sometime change - and never underestimate the power of the anti tobacco lobby to change hearts and minds.

I just want to be accepted for who I am - beer belly, cigars and bald head. Pretence is a terrible thing as you will only be lying to yourself.

An understanding partner will live with it and still care about you- even if they don’t like your smoking as they perceive it to be detrimental to your health.

To me it’s more than cigars or whatever other flaws you may have - I want to honest with myself and anyone who chooses to care about me.

Rant off. Preacher mode off.
