My girlfriend whom i love so much has been smoking for years and I know i cant get her to quit. Well when she smokes with her mom I always go by them and smoke(I don't smoke just when I am with them and they think I smoke) and I sometimes smoke with my girl. I have been doing this for years but I am not addicted.Is this ok to do?

First off, they're finding out that as few as 2 cigarettes a week can bring you to addiction. If this is a regular thing, smoking with her which I'm assuming it is, then there's a very high chance you will become addicted at one point or soon. Living in a family of smokers, my dad had to give it up cold turkey after he had a heart attack. My mom turns into the biggest b---- if she doesn't have her cigarettes. It's hard to stop once you get started, so it's best just not to.
It also does not sound like you have a healthy relationship with this girl if she thinks you smoke, but you really don't want to or like it. It's a lie you've been harboring from her for years. I think you should talk to her and say that you've been smoking because you feel awkward when you're with her if you don't, but you really don't want to or like it and you don't want to smoke with her anymore. If she gets mad that you don't want to smoke anymore, then it's definitely not a healthy relationship. She might be upset that you lied, but seriously...if you're lying to her, it's not a healthy relationship to begin with. I know that sounds tough and all, but it's true. Sorry.

Smoking in general is not healthy for you. But I'm sure you already knew that. Plus I'm not one to lecture, I'm a smoker lol.
If I were you, I would just not smoke anymore and just tell you girl that you quit, and ask her to join you in a healthier lifestyle. You can be each other's support system, and it may even bond you even more.
You know, I never did understand how people can smoke and not get addicted. I had a friend once who would only smoke on the weekends. He would go out with his friends, buy some smokes and have fun. But come monday morning, he threw the rest of the cigs away, or gave them to someone. He said he wasn't addicted, he just enjoyed smoking on the weekends.

Its not ok. I understand that you aren't addicted, but by smoking more and more times you are putting yourself at risk for becoming addicted. Plus you are still inhaling the nicotine cr*p from the ciggarettes which is probably killing your lungs. Why do you need to smoke with them? You don't sound like an insecure person to me, but by doing this just to hang out with your friend you are presenting yourself that way. You should let them know that you are not comfortable smoking and that you still want to be friends. If they don't like this, then its time to find a new friend. If not, then you can be witht hem, just be wary of secondhand smoking. Also, those new nicotine gums and patches really can work, why not try offering them to your friend? I hope that this helped and good luck!

It is never ok to smoke. It is bad for your health, it is bad for other people's health, and you are selling yourself out by pretending to be a smoker to get their attention and stay in their world (even though you are really a smoker, just like them becuase you are indeed smoking!) Stop smoking and find another way to get with a girl that does not smoke! O^O

You shoudnt smoke just because someone else does. You smoking isnt going to encourage her to give up & its not healthy for you.
If you dont want her to smoke then instead of smoking with her, help her give up. Why not try those niccotin patches, or chewing gum instead.

I wouldn't smoke unless you are a smoker if she chooses to you shouldn't have to smoke just because she does. My grandparents got hypnotized but it only works if the person really wants to.

You may not be smoking as much as they do but it still does affect your health.
