I never worry about my kids smoking. It was the one thing my parents asked us kids not to do when we were in high school, and none of us ever did (we did plenty of other bad things). My mother comes from a family of smokers, my father’s father died from emphysema. We all found smoking gross. My kids have never been exposed to it at all.

My daughter was on oxygen when she was a baby and the tanks came with signs and posters I was supposed to post on all the doors of my house to keep smokers out. I told them I didn’t need them as I’d take care of anyone who tried to smoke in my house, and it wouldn’t be pretty.

They wear seat belts and don’t text and drive either.
