This came up over thanksgiving when my 16 yr old niece was smoking and one of the relatives criticized my sister for allowing it. We all know that smoking isn't good but my sister felt it was better for her dd to be open and honest about it than going sneaking around.
I am gonna get bashed for this but yeah, I would rather my kid smoke around me then behind my back. I am not going to be happy over it but I can at least have a little control over it then. I would not allow them to bring their friends over to smoke though. I would not allow them to smoke out in public or at relatives homes either.
I dont allow ANY one to smoke in my home.
In the 13 years we have lived in this house I have only had 1 guest over that smoked and I had them out in the yard.... and still I was VERY VERY put out because then they came in and SAT ON MY COUCH! I had to have the couch cleaned because the stank was now on my furniture!!!
My 19 year old smokes, rarely around me and not in my house even though I smoke.
