The best way to remedy your smelly cigarette breath? Have a stick of refreshing chewing gun or a handful of mints before you move in for the kiss. This can be the ideal situation to avoid a kissing disaster.
Kissing a smoker is repulsive mainly because of the smell. The stinch comes from the accumulation of ashes and nicotine (YUK)! A 2000 study confirmed that about 78% of people suffered from tooth decay, 50% suffered from gingivitis, and 80% of THOSE people were infected with gum disease. The most interesting thing about this study revealed that 95% of those people were not aware of the oral complications associated with cigarette smoking.
Facts About Kissing a Smoker
An investigation actually looked into how bad an effect smoking can have on kissing a person. A volunteer was picked by random and asked to first kiss a smoker and then an ashtray. This was done to determine whether kissing a smoker can be as bad as kissing an ashtray or worse.
The results of the volunteer were studied and analyzed on the basis of four criteria’s – enthusiasm, taste, texture and resistance.The following results were revealed from the study or investigation:
- Enthusiasm: Reluctant about kissing a smoker
- Taste: A tangy feeling with hints of ashes
- Texture: Grainy feeling due to the ashes collected in the mouth
- Resistance: There was no problem with regard to grip and firmness
Speaking subjectively this investigation proved that kissing a smoker isn’t that bad. However, foul or bad breath would in anyway be unappreciated if you are considered kissing a person.
When asked to kiss an ashtray, the taste, texture and resistance was quite the same but in terms of enthusiasm an inanimate object couldn’t contribute much. However, the investigation concluded on the point that kissing an ashtray can be better than kissing a smoker as there is little that can be expected from an object in terms of smell, taste,
texture or retaliation. So quit smoking if you are expecting better reactions from your partner.
