Have you ever registered on a dating site? During registration there are a list of habits you are asked to choose from. They are usually categorized depending on what it is to help you state exactly your habits and what you desire should someone come across your profile. Two habits that never fail to make the list are drinking and smoking. You are asked how often you drink or smoke and most times people opt for social drinking or do not drink and smoke at all.
Smoking and drinking is one habit that has the ability to make a relationship deteriorate especially if there is a great discrepancy between the couples. Not everyone likes to have their home reek of cigarettes and worse off marijuana or cannabis and not everyone wants to see their spouse wasted after taking a few bottles of alcohol. Granted, there are people who don't really mind if their spouse does any of this but usually they are also involved in such and so they do it together. A couple that smokes and drinks together can as well stay together.
However, you will agree with me that although it may seem like smoking and drinking doesn't cost much but addition of the expenses over the years show that a lot of money is actually consumed by this simple but dangerous habit. I have seen women who are heavy smokers and drinkers and yet have men who find them attractive. I have also seen a woman who constantly gives her 2 year old son alcohol each time she is having one.
have their choices when it comes to a dating partner or life partner but how often do we consider the consequences of marrying someone who smokes and drinks? If you aren't comfortable having a partner who does any of these it is better not to date one that date and hope that when they fall in love you can change them. You just might be preparing yourself for the biggest shock of your life.
