I allow my child to smoke
I smoke four packs a day, and have for a long time. My six year old girl recently asked me to let her puff on my ciggy. So I did. She asked to do it repeatedly all day. By the end of the day, she wanted her own ciggy. So I gave her one. Since then, she has been smoking like a champ, about a pack a day. I somehow feel guilty but not really. I actually don't think it's all that bad for her to smoke.
Recently, I cut down to 2 packs a day because I am pregnant--3 months. I just don't think I should deprive myself just because I a pregnant. I expect my new baby will want to smoke too, and I don't have a problem teaching it how to do it. I love smoking more that anything. I don't think I'm all that bad, but my friends say I'm wrong. Any comments?
Lucja,
Allowing our kids to smoke to smoke is NO big deal. My twin daughters Ren and Lilly have been smoking since they were 6, inhaling since they were 7. Parents have FOREVER been offering their kids drags from their cigarette. I can't count how many allowed their kids to light their parents' cigarettes, take a couple of drags and hand it back. It seemed all my classmates were doing it from the time they were eight.
what gives me the sh its are the antis on this board. Just because kids smoke, it doesn't necessarily mean they are bad kids.
My twin daughters are well educated an attend a respectable private school.
to the poster below below, I smoked through my pregnancy without any ill effects to my kids or myself. I didn't have the inclination to stop smoking nor did I ever have the willpower. It was easier for me to keep smoking because i enjoy it so much and I didn't want to try to quit.
