Smoking in front of your children, right or wrong?


Easier and more honest than smoking behind their backs.

Such a crazy analogy that greatly lacks merit. Do you call to attention the implications of such irrational honesty?
It has life changing repercussions on children, especially infants who's body systems have not been very developed to handle the effect of such substances.

It's never a bad thing to smoke, I've friends that do so but I'm very quick to reprimand then when they allow their children get close while they blaze, parents should protect their children from hazard and second class smoking is a hazard that children should be protected from.

So what are you trying to teach them when smoking in their front. The first question you should ask yourself is that, is smoking a good habit or a bad one? We all know it is a bad habit, so why letting your children emulate that habit. Tomorrow if your child start smoking, you will want to scold and caution that child meanwhile you encouraged them to do so. Because doing it in from of them means it’s the right thing to do right?

The truth is that Just because you view smoking as a bad habit doesn’t necessarily mean that others view it that way, your sense of morality can be completely different from others, especially those from a completely different country, race or ethnicity so try as much as you can not to generalize your sense of morality.

That being said, it’s not a matter of whether or not you or anyone else feel smoking is a bad habit, it’s more of a matter of, is he okay with the kids smoking at that age? Or does he actually wanna smoke in their presence and hope they don’t emulate him? This should give you the answer you’re looking for.

I was chilling with my siblings at the rooftop bar section of a hotel when I noticed this man who came on a date with his family and was smoking cannabis freely in front of his wife and two beautiful children of as not more than 5 and 7. It was unpleasant to me because children see their parents as role models and are very fast to copying what they see their parents do. Exposing them to such experience at a tender age reinforces the desire to smoke in them and may even see them start smoking before they are adults, with or without the knowledge and permission of their parents.

Furthermore, there are health implication of inhaling cannabis in their tender body systems. Children can suffer seizures and even breathing problems from cannabis poisoning, it can also cause asthma attacks, unnecessary agitation and even decreased coordination in children. Temporal effects on children can last from 24-36 hours.

I don't condemn smoking as an adult, but it is a better practice not to expose these very tender ones to the harsh physical, health and psychological effects of smoking.

Do you agree to this?

Some parents fail to understand that their kids look up to them as a role model, the person who they want to be like when they grow up. It’s not a good idea for a parent to expose their smoking habit to their children, it is something the parents should be ashame to do in the present of their kids. You cannot sure if the children will grow up without following what you do. Children always believe that their parents will not do anything wrong, so they may think that smoking is also the right thing.

Smoking is not something a parent should be proud of. I known a man who smoke and has four children, while two of them also smoke, but as a father, he cannot tell them to stop smoking because he is also doing the same thing. In order to correct our children or someone, we need to be a good example for them.
