Would you rather be married to an anti-vaxxer or a smoker?

[ImAnOmelette]

A random conversation I started with DH this morning. He is neither!!!

I think it would depend a little on whether the antivaxxer would prevent my DC being vaccinated. Can that happen?

An out and out actual antivaxxer as in would never allow childhood vaccines either then ew I'd rather a smoker and I hate that. If its someone who's been labelled one for not wanting the covid jab I wouldn't be arsed.

I'd rather be single.

Your partner can potentially stop any DC from being vaccinated.

I would take my children and have them vaccinated every time. Couldn't give a monkeys if their father was an anti vaxxer.

Smoker for me, smokers don’t try to persuade you what they’re doing is rational, healthy or “sticking it to the man”

Exactly. And a smoker is more likely to end up becoming a non-smoker than an anti-vaxxer is even likely to see the light.

If you just mean the Covid 19 vaccine, I would say anti vaxxer.

To be honest smoking is pretty disgusting, and more likely to shorten your life than not getting a vaccine.

Antivaxxer. I own headphones so I could tune the antivaxx bullshit out but I can't think rationally about smoking, my dad smoked and everything weird in my relationship with my dad is symbolised by smoking for me.

Definitely a smoker. Anti vaxxers aren't rational (talking about people who don't get vaccinated on principle) and have bought into conspiracy theories. I couldn't respect someone like that.

I might be biased though as I know as an ex smoker how hard it is to stop smoking.

I hate both, so neither, but I suppose if pushed if choose a smoker as long as they didn’t smoke in the house or stink of it.

Smoker

Anti vaxxer, 100%. Couldn't live with a smoker, even when not smoking it's in their clothes, hair, they are breathing out poison as they lie next to you in bed. I have anxiety around health though.

The three people I know who are anti covid vax all smoke. I did question one of them about the other crap they put in to their body etc but in answer to your question I would never marry a smoker.

I could never be with a smoker, it’s the most disgusting habit to me.

Anti-vaxxers - it depends. Against Covid vaccine, couldn’t care less. Against all other immunisations, well I wouldn’t be having children with him.

I'd rather be with an anti vaxxer if their opinion was contained purely to vaccines and they weren't a conspiracy nutter in other ways. Smoking is a lot worse to live with on a day to day basis.

Smoker for sure! I’ve anti vaxxers in the family and in my very limited experience the conspiracy theories are strong with them. So, assuming I’d have to be married to the sort of anti vaxxer I know, for my own sanity I’d pick a smoker providing there’s no smoking in the house and I don’t start smoking again.

I married a smoker so I suppose I’d have to say smoker, he’s not a smoker anymore thank God!

Smoker definitely most smokers are considerate so not harming anyone but themselves, the anti-vaxxers are potentially harming a lot of other people.

Definitely a smoker. Anti vaxxers aren’t sane rational people.

Smoker 100%

A smoker, because they’ll at least know it’s bad for them. A raging anti-vaxxer will have some serious psychological issues and would probably try to pass on that nonsense to your kids.

There are people who choose the vaccine is not right for them and I respect their choice. Anti vaxxers who lobby others on their opinion are a bit scary!

Smoker. Me and DP were both smokers. We are no longer smokers

My DB is an anti vaxer... He is still an anti vaxer

Antivaxer every time.

Smoking and obesity are much more dangerous to them and children

Whichever one I'll get the best divorce settlement from...

Smokers harm others even if considerate. I get headaches at work from smokers smoking on breaks then coming inside with it all over their clothing. Unless you mean changing clothing, with no one I know does.
