I will speak of one experience where I was completely disgusted.
A wife and husband raising 5 kids,ages-13-10-7-4-1.
Both parents smoked continuously around the children since infancy.
These children were constantly sick and coughing,'sounded like chronic bronchitis'.
These children are addicted to nicotine right?...They have to be.
My mother smoked around me constantly when I was growing up,a lot of parents did back in the day.
I believe I was unwillingly addicted to cigarettes for about 11 years.
Yes I started willingly inhaling my own at age 11...terrible.
So how many of these five kids I mentioned above will smoke do ya think?
The percentage looks to be at least 4 of 5,on probability.
Guess what the 13 and 10 year old have already been caught smoking around the 7 year old at that,...go figure.
I am actually surprised and disgusted about how many people I've known who smoke around their children in the home.
I think this should honestly be illegal some how.
It's subjecting you child to an addictive drug.
