Dating a Smoker, But Allergic to Smoke/tobacco Posted: 10-04-07 14:25pm
I have been dating this guy for bit now,
but I'm having some major problems. I am
very allergic to tobacco and the smoke,
and he's a smoker He's a great guy,
and he's very very considerate of my
allergies..but when we kiss and such, my
throat is soar the next day and I feel
like getting over an allergic reaction.
I really like this guy, and while we did
just start dating, I would like to have a
relationship with him. Like I said, he's
very considerate of my allergies, but it
still bothers me. Is there anything I can
do to stop this? I take those allergy
pills every day (24 hour ones), but it
doesn't really help with this. I have
been thinking about the allergy shots
people get (not just for him, I have other
allergies too), are there any other
suggestions y'all have to help out?

What other allergies do you have?
Seasonal? Or are you prone to allergic
reactions?

I'm allergic to a lot of things: tobacco,
THC, wool, brazil and macademia nuts,
cats, dust, ragweed. I have seasonal
allergies too. Seasonal allergies make me
feel like I have a cold most times. The
other things vary. The nuts are very very
dangerous to me, wool makes me break out,
cats/dust/ragweed makes me sneeze and my
eyes water, and tobacco smoke make my eyes
water, cough, and my throat hurt. Actual
tobacco (my father worked at a cigarette
company) makes me sneeze and I break out
when I touch it.
I used to have asthma attacks when I was
younger around smokers, but that stopped
many years ago. Now my throat gets sore
when I'm around smoky places and I cough a
lot. If i spend an evening in a smoky
bar, I am almost always ill the next day
(fatigued, sore throat, and coughing)
He's a great guy,
and he's very very considerate of my
allergies..but when we kiss and such, my
throat is soar the next day and I feel
like getting over an allergic reaction.
