Must I quit to find someone? Misty, In a word - NO. In my search, my preference was for a non-smoker. If it was a hard limit, I never would have found my slave beth or be with her today. I've had to study human behavior and the psychology of addiction. Smoking addiction is more difficult to "cure" than any other, including addiction to heroin. When I met beth, she was "quiting". "Quiting is easy" she's did it at least 25 times since she started smoking at 15. she was doing it again when we met. At one point that weekend the only thing she was wearing was a nicotine patch, but somehow it managed to have slid from her shoulder to the top of her leg. But that's another story. We talked about her smoking. It was an "issue" but not an exclusionary one. I told her I'd help her quit but it wasn't something I wanted her to do just to please me. I developed a "Stop Smoking Program" consisting of 20 steps. In reality 20 levels of increasing levels of punishment for the consequence of smoking. Without going into all the details, the 20th level was the shaving of her head. she knew me and knew that my pragmatic approach would not compromise. If she willingly agreed to the program she'd incur the consequences if she failed. The Program is still outstanding and ready to implement but after 3+ years beth is still smoking and the program still stands at the ready in the background. I could give you many reasons why I permit the behavior. You may interpret them as personal rationalization but they are based upon facts. The most basic fact is when I met beth I didn't MAKE her a submissive I adapted her, already present, submissive personality to serve me; ultimately as my slave. All that she was came with that personality. All that she had experienced and all that she was as a person, and as a woman, was part of what attracted me to her. As much as I hated and still hate it, smoking was a deeply ingrained part of who beth was and is. I wanted to train beth, not change her. Making her stop smoking would have changed her. There are other things I've "made" or "make" her do but they are all within her "nature". Breaking the addiction to smoking will only come when she makes herself. When that comes, I'll be there to support and enforce that decision.
