 do you want your child(ren) to smoke?? & If you do, what age is OK?????????

ETA: this post was prompted by another post where so moms were defending smoking in their houses & cars with their children around. With all the info of how dangerous second-hand smoke is it's as if their children are actually smoking themselves. It just made me curious.

I smoke and i think my little girl would do her health the world of good if she grew up to be a smoker,  18 is the desired age.....She can waste her money and perhaps damage her organs in the process so, yes bring it on.......

No offence but i highly doubt someone would seriously say yes, i would wonder what is wrong with a person who did say yes to this........ no i do not want my daughter to be stupid like me and take on smoking.

Yeah... I quit cocaine and meth and alcohol all at the same time cold turkey.

Smoking... I've tried everything they have .... EVERYTHING even the support groups. And here I sit having an asthma attack and a cigarette.

Why the fuck would I want that for my kids?  Christ... if I could quit... I would.

I have 3 out of 4 kids that already smoke. It doesn't bother me because I was smoking at their age too, same with their father we were both smoking at 12 years old. My boys are 15, 14, 12 and 8. The only one that hasn't started smoking at least not yet is my 8 year old and if he wants to I'll have no problem with him smoking either. There are many other things my kids could be doing to get in trouble. If they want to smoke that is their choice, we give them cigarettes instead of an allowance.

Really? Are you saving up for oxygen tanks instead of a college fund as well?
