Would you date a smoker?

I am not judging. We all have our vices. I eat far too much, and of the wrong foods, for example.
But ...
I had a coffee date yesterday with a man from the dating site. It went reasonably well, and I was in two minds about whether I wanted to see him again. However he messaged to say that he'd left his scarf at the pub where we met, and as it's round the corner from where I live, I offered to pick it up for him.
Thing is, it is absolutely reeking of smoke, and is stinking out my flat I will have to put it on the washing line outside, but hopefully it won't rain as it's lambswool. I sent him a semi-jokey message asking if it would be fair to assume he's a smoker Grin, and he replied that he was.
My settings on the site were set to 'non smoker' but when I checked his profile tonight, he's a social/occasional smoker. I must have missed that!
I'd rather his 'thing' was drinking, as he only ever has an occasional whisky. No sharing a bottle of wine over dinner for us! Confused
So, would you date someone who smoked?

No. I once dated a smoker for 2 weeks. He was gorgeous and a lovely guy, but it was so disgusting to kiss him. Deal breaker for me.

Yes.

He could be the Dalai Lama, and I still couldn't do it. DPs boss gives our DCs Christmas gifts, and they always smell very strongly of tobacco smoke. I have to store them in the shed as it makes me feel ill. And I used to be a smoker!

No. Gross. It's like kissing a stale ashtray. I know because I once kissed a stranger who obviously smoked (from the taste of his mouth Envy ).
