Rick, I agree with your son. Being 20, myself, his words make sense to me, I wouldn't not date someone who smoked. I deal with second-hand smoke every day, and can't stand it. A female friend of mine once said that she always made it visible when she was around a smoker to hold her breath and say "Excuse me, some of us actually breath OXYGEN!" I also would never date anyone with a foul mouth (certainly not one as bad as 'Spaw's! *BG*) Girls today swear as much as men, sometimes ever worse, and use them as euphenisms for "um" instead of when one is truly angry. Bad in the good old days, just finding someone who loved you was important enough, but today you've got so many more issues. I also would NOT date a girl who didn't like folk music. No sir!
