Gagging for a date?
It may not just be your health you are risking if you choose to light up a cigarette or similar, it could also wreck your chance of new love a new survey has found.
Saga Private Medical Insurance questioned over 1,000 people to discover that half of all non-smokers said they would not date a smoker; another 25 percent said they may consider putting up with a ‘smoker’ – but only if they were good-looking… or rich!

An article in the The Daily Mail commented that "Smoking was once seen as acceptable but now struggles to be tolerated" adding to the growing activities that want to exclude smokers.
Here's a question for you...
Do you want to find love?
 yes
 no
Comments to this website also seem to reflect this general sentiment but of course everyone has their own view.
Our advice? Smokers certainly put more their health at risk when they light up but perhaps they are also reducing their chances of finding a prospective partner. The survey by Saga researchers found that 39 percent of people start smoking before they are aged 15 with a further 46 percent beginning between the ages of 16 and 19 years old it said nothing about those that stop (or start) after a disappointing first date!
