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.
