hi am 39 yr old female i have been smoking for about 20 yes now but like one pk a day , i been dating my female partner that does not smoke but she told me this last time we was together and we kiss she could taste the nicotine and it made her throat to close up , but i would stop smoking like 3 hours before we meet ever time . can nicotine make your throat close up from the taste of it? and how long if i stop smoking for her does nicotine stays in your system?

Yeah that was me too. My husband has a strong aversion to smoking, so I gave it up for him. It took a few tries though, but I think I may finally have it. Just think of it not so much as an ultimatum (her or the addiction), but more of she wants to have as much time with you as possible and cigarettes can cut that time in half. Think that's what helped me- I realized just how terrified he is to loose me.

Good luck.

There are a lot of strange allergies out there so it's possible she's allergic to it. I know that many people are allergic to smoke, nicotine isn't that much of a leap.

My husband told me he could still taste a cigarette on my breath 24 hours after I had it. That's after brushing and mouth wash. He said it seemed like it was in my lungs- so every time I exhaled a little seemed to be in it. Not enough for me to tell, but more than enough for him.

I hear it said that it takes about 3 days for the chemicals to get out of your body. and about 2 weeks to help change the smoking habit. Although I've been struggling with cravings MONTHS after i quit smoking so I don't know about that one. But my husband seems to be able to detect smoke for a 1-2 days after I have even 1 cigarette.
