I was a two pack a day Navy punk. Met her at a friends house with a large group of folks, and at some point she mentioned she could never date a smoker. On the way home I picked up a pack of patches and spent the next few weeks quitting. We started seriously dating about a year later and beyond the occasional cigar/cigarette socially while drinking (like once a year if that) I’ve been smokeless. This was 2006.
I think you quitting immediately after meeting her is kinda different from saying that you’ll quit for the partner who already got together with you while you were smoking.
Never marry a smoker who says they’ll quit for you. They’ll probably resent you for the rest of their lives.
I literally quit for my wife the day we met.

Why would I resent her for my choice?
I guess I should say be careful rather than never.
Some relationships are stronger than others, and people are different.
