Simple answer would be: yes.

As a general rule of thumb, the stigma is that smoking women are 'bad girls'. While the stigma might not stick as strongly on Western women, just the fact you're a laowai girl will scare many Chinese men away.

Personally, I find Chinese guys to be weaklings, easily intimidated by a woman with an ounce of personality and independence.

As for the bars, the 'rule' is you're not allowed to smoke in public places, but no one gives a rat's ass about it.

thier are more smokers in china than thier are people in the usa they loe thier cigs the only place i found that you coud not smoke is mcds kfc pizza hut papa johns and subway
