Smoking in front of your children, right or wrong?

[Akbarkoe]

Yes, it's clear, without having to look at everything complicated, we can immediately conclude that smoking in front of children is wrong behavior, firstly because it sets a bad example (because we know what the impact of smoking is like) and also talks about protecting others besides ourselves, because according to studies, cigarette smoke is more dangerous for those who don't smoke but they inhale it, apart from that, dangerous substances from cigarette smoke can stick to clothes which can be smelled by someone close to you.

I do not smoke either, so I'm against smoking in areas where children are present. Because it will significantly affect their health if they inhale cigarette smoke. However, I do not think someone smoking in front of children should be condemned simply because we fear they will imitate them. Because how can you guarantee it will not learn from others and do it behind your back?

Therefore, if you want your children not to smoke, you need to educate them about the harmful effects of tobacco and teach them to proactively avoid environments with cigarette smoke

I'm a smoker, but I know where I shouldn't smoke carelessly, even in public places, not just in certain places. There's no need to condemn it, because that's excessive. This is an unnecessary response, let alone rudely reprimanding people even if they smoke. As a parent, I simply don't let them see me smoking and, of course, avoid them when they approach me.

I know how to educate my children not to smoke, and to this day, they don't smoke.

Actually the problem is not just with the children, but the whole environment has changed. Earlier the working of family and society was within a certain boundary but now the boundaries are very blurred. Technology has not only offered convenience, it has taken away control. When parents themselves become indifferent to so many things, from whom will the children learn? I think the fault lies not entirely with the children who are more responsible, nor with society alone but with the adults more responsible in between, At such an age it is not freedom that is most important for children but guidance.

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.

depends to be fair smoking a cigarette in front of your children as long as its not in and enclosed space is for the individual parent to decide. however smoking cannabis is something i feel most normal thinking people would disagree with. as you said it is something that can have a long lasting affect of the children and i myself would not allow this infront of any child. it is unfair and inhuman to hsow this type of behavior around a child.

Smoking in front of your children, right or wrong?


It's right because the kids will get some of the nicotine from the tobacco smoke (let's hope it is tobacco that you are smoking). This will protect them from mRNA shedding and from the vaccine. See the below websites... and all kinds of other info that is coming out.

Look, everyone knows that smoking or drinking in front of children will be negative. If a child is young and smoking in front of them, then the child will definitely develop a kind of addiction to smoking unknowingly. Children will be able to learn what you teach them easily. If you do good things in front of children, then children will learn to do good things. Again, if you smoke or drink in front of children, children will definitely want to form that habit in themselves, as a result, the child will gradually become a drug addict and a smoking youth when he grows up.

My father and uncle both smoked, but neither I nor my cousins ​​smoked as adults.

I do not support adults smoking in front of children because it will affect their health. But just because you smoke in front of your child does not mean they will develop a smoking habit. That could happen, but it would not be that easy.

If you explain why adults smoke and educate them fully about the harmful effects of tobacco. They will stay away from cigarettes and will never smoke when they grow up.

I understand this is an addiction so many people are fighting with because looking at the way you are talking about it, it is clear you do not like smoking but you are probably doing it because you are already used to it unlike the people who smoke in the public spaces and are not even ashamed of their actions, smoke in front of their kids, friends, family and other people. I have an OG who is a highly placed official in the government who does not care whether he’s at a public place or not, he still smokes and it is as if he can’t go 1 or two straight hours without smoking. Sometimes I pity his situation because I’m sure he won’t want his kids to emulate him yet he can’t do without smoking even in their eyes.

Children are more prone to practicalize what they see mostly that which comes from their parents, apart from health effects of smoking doing it in the front of your children is automatically telling them smoking is good even if they start it early it's hard to convince them is bad because they seen you smoked I will said is bad there should be certain control by a smoker when children is involved and do it in their absence rather than their presence, except those children is up to age of accountability where their decision can count else is easy way of introducing smoking to once children.

The situation can become worst if the both parents are involved in the smoking habits but where one of the parents is the only one smoking the other parents will stand a better position to tell the child of the harmful effects of the smoking and if they end of smoking at the end it will be a decision taken maybe when they have grown up to take certain decisions by themselves however, it is wrong to smoke in front of your children while some children can be smart enough to know that smoking is bad and may likely not get indulge in it even after seeing parent smoking others might not be that smart.

Smoking in front of our kids means only one thing. It means the parent wants their child to emulate the habit of smoking. How we train a child is how the child will grow. When I become a father, I wont let my children see me do things they are not up to the age of doing. Parents allowing their kids to watch them smoke and drink like they are addicted, will destroy the life of the children. Before the get to the age of accepting responsibility they should be addicted to the act of smoking. Losing focus from what is important in life.

For those who are addicted, they will certainly feel empty. However, if they can't even stand it for two hours without smoking, I think the addiction is already very serious and dangerous for their health. Before long, they might experience respiratory problems or lung problems if they smoke like that. The risks are very high.
He seems to have been in power for too long, and his arrogance will allow him to do as he pleases. This is not a good example for anyone.

i guess every human is different and there is not a right or wrong answer in this case. is not whether one agrees but if morally you find this right or wrong. in many countries children are expose to much worst then in this case. would i do it? no, but this does not apply to everyone.

Gone are the days smoking is been condemned in my environment. Currently, everyone sees smoking as nothing because majority of these smokers have money so who are you to tell them it's bad because you're not smoking. That's how the society is, young married couples don't hide smoking from their kids anymore. One thing I have come to understand is that a father might be smoking in front of his kids but none of them will smoke in future. On the other hand, a father might not smoke throughout his lifetime but his son will be a smoker in future.

I like what you said, that it was before that people see smoking as bad something but today it is even seems as you are not a smoker that means you have not arrived and it's no longer hidden to anyone whether children or adults,it is common nowadays especially to our youth both under aged..

So the thing is that someone who wants to be a good child will definitely be a good child no matter what happens, he or she have come across with but not fall into that, and someone who wants to become a bad child will definitely be a bad child no matter how much you have try for him or her not to get exposed but he or she definitely becomes bad child

Do you have children? I'm not denying that smoking or drinking alcohol in front of children is something that should not be done. Because this not only causes children to imitate and form bad habits, but it can also harm their health. However, things will not get so serious that they ruin their lives as you are saying.

Children will not become smokers or alcoholics just because their parents do it in front of them. If you think children are very susceptible to becoming addicted to cigarettes or alcohol simply by observing adults doing those things. You are underestimating the role of education and personal awareness.

Not every family where the parents smoke or drink alcohol will have children who smoke. How would you explain these cases?

[9ja Amaka]

Smoking is a very bad habit and smoking in the presence of kids makes it worse. I will never advice anyone to smoke on the presence of kids, because it's very bad for their health and it also makes the kids feel that smoking is the right thing to do. Something people don't understand is that kids learn from what they see, so if you smoke in the presence of your kids, UT makes them feel its okay to smoke, so I don't expect people to smoke in the presence of their kids, because it will definitely impact the kids.
