Well there is a lot of different fetishers, some like it hard, some like it soft. Same with SMF.
I'm more the soft type. So the sexy smoking fetish definately works for me, big time. But there's a lot of situations where it would turn me off.
The girl needs to be very sexy and smoking in an elegant way. Dressed sexy etc. I'm not turned on by any girl that smokes, and I guess it's like that for most ppl in the fetish community.
I had gfs that were smokers and it would not bring much excitment. But I had a non smoker gf that wanted to try it and decided to tease me playing femme fatale with sexy clothes, wine just relaxing... and she looked extra sexy doing it. She never smoked more than 2 or 3 per week and I think that was important for me.
Looking at a woman enjoying a cigarette does not menas she's a chain smoker or a pack per day smoker. Being hooked on drugs, smoking or on diet coke, at least for me, it just can't be a turn on.
I understand all downsides of smoking, and even if I would come in my pants in 10 sec if my actual gf would do it for me, I would never accept that she would start smoking everyday and get hooked by it.
I think it brings a bad girl side up, and combined with a very sexy and innocent look, it's just a thrill for me.
I do respect people that hates it, because in 90% of the time I see people smoking around me I hates it.
It's just a sexual fantasy like others would prefer stuff like foot fetish, nylons or leather clothes, huge breasts or very tiny ones, big round asses or hary pussy. There is a million of different ones, and I guess there is one at least for everyone.
