Smoking in front of your children, right or wrong?

[Findingnemo]

Well today at my town a 17 years old boy was been taken into custody by the cops today for smoking and the funniest part is that he parents didn’t even notice how to smoke but he was asked when did he started smoking and the truth of the matter was he started smoking at the age of 14 and I was just shocked to have heard this young boy and honestly it left me confused today because I was stupidly not okay to even think this younger generations can do anything for how long with there parents getting to find out..

Just for smoking in a public place the 17-year-old man was arrested by the police, is the reason because smoking there is prohibited like drugs?
 Men will do whatever they want without telling anyone, it's like someone has been addicted to gambling for a long time and the parents only find out now. This is not strange because often when they are under the age of 21 many men do it secretly, for me it's a bit strange that smoking is caught by the police.

Possibly the person is smoking in a prohibited place like a hospital or even in a library?

Smoking is widely accepted in this world, but it does harm the one who does but also the others who is nearby to them even if they got no business in it, the smoke can cause health hazards even if they are non-smokers but are exposed to that place, which is why in public places, smoking is prohibited in many countries.

And parents can't know everything a kid does, and everyone got their secrets with them that might not even noticed forever.

At times we ignorantly do things at our own discretion  believing it is the best without knowing our actions are exposing others to life threatening dangers that may consume them if time is not taken, and that of smoking in front of our children may be one of this life consuming challenge we think is for pleasure without knowing its after effect.
Its right time we come to realisation and know the disadvantage of smoking to avoid exposing innocent children to dangers that may hunt them tomorrow if they choose that same path.

I had a discussion with someone in this thread who don't mind smoking in front of his kids, well it's his decision and I don't care whatever theory they bring up to make it look good to everyone or claim it's for health benefits but for me I won't tolerate anyone who tries to lure my kids into smoking or expose them to it.

 Even the cigarette companies are even kind enough to advise their  customers that smokers are liable to die but then there are people who can't go a day without taling a pack of cigarettes, well they've made their choice and would suffer the repercussions alone.

I don’t see ignorance as a very good reason to justify such stupid action of smoking in front of our children when we know what children are capable of doing in our absence  especially after learning. 
Its the right time we tell ourselves the truth,  smoking is a very dangerous practice we should be mindful on before getting involved in it because of its disadvantages and effects on our health if not properly controlled it the right time 
Before getting involved in smoking we most find out the possible ways of maintaining a good health,  so instead of exposing our children to that we must be conscious not to expose our children to something that will reduce there lifespan.

To some people it might appear to be harmless smoking around kids, but what they fail to understand is that, what they are doing at that point is exposing those innocent children to serious health risks that can end up affecting them in the future. A lot of folks sure does these kind of things at their own discretion with the belief that it’s merely for pleasure, without even putting into adequate consideration how the aftermath of their actions might unfold.

If we google - health benefits of smoking, we won't be able to find any single benefit of smoking except the fact that it only destroys your health. If you are smoker then not only your health is destroyed but also health of people who sit next to you is affected since they inhale second hand smoke also called passive smoking. Kids learn more from our actions more then from our words and their is bright chance that kids will also smoke tomorrow if we smoke in front of them today. Its our decision whether we want our kids to smoke tomorrow or live a smoking free life.

What’s the health benefits in smoking? When you are smoking, you endangering your life, and life’s of people around you, because the same way the smoke is kill you, it’s also killing people surrounding you which are inhaling the smoke. Anyone claiming smoking is beneficial is just deceiving himself, people that that should take their phone to search for health effects of smoking. If you try to lure my kid into smoking, or you exposing him, then am going to get you arrested, because I know the harm which you are going to cause.

Even the cigarette companies are even kind enough to advise their  customers that smokers are liable to die but then there are people who can't go a day without taling a pack of cigarettes, well they've made their choice and would suffer the repercussions alone.

They know the risk involved in it but they choose to ignore it, because it is boldly written on the pack that smokers are liable to die young, and image of the harm which is going to cause is posted on the carton, but people still ignore that, if it’s not killing you gradually, then it’s not going to be written on the carton by the company.

Moderate smoking brings on health. Some of the chemicals in tobacco (like nicotine) are good for a person. Addictive chemicals that the tobacco companies add are not.

Tobacco companies want to sell more tobacco, so they add addictive chemicals to the tobacco that they sell. Nicotine is not naturally addictive. It's good for you, and protects you from all kinds of diseases, including Covid-19. Peruse the links in the address area at the bottom.

The medical shot themselves in the foot with this one. They want to stop people from using nicotine and being far less sick. No big money in having healthy people. So they can't tell us that nicotine is good.

So, they advertise stopping nicotine by taking nicotine tabs or patches. They hope that people will get off the addictive tobacco products, and then stop using tobacco products.

But we the people have found out that the way to stay healthy is to take some nicotine. And with all the lying going on in the medical and government regulations, we are finding out that government is just as criminal in the lying it is doing and allowing the medical to do.


Teach the children the right way.

I have never seen any studies or reports stating that moderate smoking is beneficial to health. This is the first time I have heard of this, and frankly, I'm quite skeptical about its accuracy.

As far as I know, cigarettes contain over 7000 chemicals, and more than 70% of them are carcinogens. Therefore, whether you smoke a little or a lot, or even just inhale the smell of cigarette smoke, it will all harm your body.

It could be said that tobacco is essentially a poison.

Do you agree to this?

It is completely okay for the adults to make their own choices but when those choices are directly impacting the health and development of their children then they should be very careful. We have already seen this line everywhere that's smoking is injurious to health it causes serious health issues if an adult is smoking in front of their children that mean they are affecting their brain as they see their parents as their role models, children brains are like sponges that they learn from their parents and mimic the environment around them.
Smoking Cannabis can cause serious respiratory problems it is the responsibility of the parents to protect their children from such environment rather than creating this type of environment for them , when parents do these activities in front of their children they are striping away the childrens right to grow up in a healthy world.

Health wise it is widely believed that smoking have a huge effect in human health at least for such singular reason it’s advisable not to smoke In presence of this young kids because as young as they are their systems are really fragile and inhaling the smoke could affect their system too early even though they may not be the ones smoking but for the fact that they are there inhaling it there’s a tendency of it affecting their system since they are still young and their system are still not very used to some stuffs. Apart from that aspect, i don’t think if smoking in front of your kids will automatically make the kid a smoker in the future, I know kids are always influenced by what they see adults do but the truth is most kids who are smokers today don’t learn it from their parents even though they have watched their parents smoked before. A child can be raised in a very safe and good way but tomorrow the child can turn to a smoker that’s change.

I disapprove of smoking in public places, especially in front of children. Because cigarettes are genuinely harmful.

However, I agree that smoking in front of children does not automatically make them smokers in the future. In this case, I believe that education and upbringing are the decisive factors. If children are raised and educated properly, they will know how to stay away from cigarettes instead of imitating that behavior.

Therefore, instead of just complaining and blaming smoker, we should also reflect on how we raise and educate our own children.

Even though children lung system isnt fully developed while they are young, I dont think that smokers do a real life threating danger to it while they smoke nearby. Mostly because even though adults smoke nearby, they dont smoke directly into childs face, and they smoke maybe 1 cigarette a week nearby children. Even though smoking isnt something good, but threat I think is often greatly exaggerated.

A lot of parents neglect basic room ventilation and cleaning. They do not open windows to let fresh air in, and there is often dust on the surface. With that problem children face more often than smokers in front of them. Many parents completely neglect humidity level in children room, leaving room with dry air and dust. That is much worse than an adult who has accidentally puffed smoke in childs direction.

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?

I agree to this. Children learn learn faster from the harbit thier parents exhibit. Thats why a 1 year old child can call the the name of the father or mother, sometimes they display their parents character,  this is to show that they are learning.  Smoking in front of the children at their tender age can lead the children or child to try what the dad is doing without knowing the side effect at that age. Their are certain age the child should reach before exposing them to such things, might not be only smoking.

Yeah, many parents smoke, but never in front of their children. Because they know that it can affect not only their own decisions  but also the people around them. To me this is also part of responsible parenting. However the responsibility does not end just by not smoking in front of the child. If the child later finds out that his or her parent is addicted to this habit , then it can still affect him or her. So I would say that if you want to give your children a beautiful and healthy world, not just by hiding it but by showing the honest courage and patience to eliminate these harmful habits from your life forever, the true identity of an ideal parent will be.

Gone are the days when smoking is condemned in my environment. Currently, everyone sees smoking as nothing because the majority of these smokers have money so who are you to tell them it's bad? After all, 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.

Yeah, you are right, while I was growing up I had an uncle who smoked a lot and he even sent his underage kid to buy cigarettes for him and sometimes even assisted the dad in lighting it up from the fire. Still, the surprising thing is that now the guy is an adult. He is not smoking; in fact, he is now working with the drug control office, I think on some special cases children just grow up to be what they are destined to be and do what they're destined to do regardless of the bad environment they may be borned into.

It is totally wrong for parents to smoke cannabis in from of those children, it exposes them to early knowledge of smoking, although it may occur now, but as Time passes the desire or urge to try will start increasing, and immediately they test in once , it becomes difficult to leave. And the parents may never know that what they did in front of their children is now affecting them. Children are too quick to learn, that's why we ought to be careful on how we exposed such thing to them at early age. Don't think they are kids that they don't know anything, at little age everything they see they assimilate and want to have a test of it. Let's be guided and become good parents.

I agree that parents sets example for the kids but I don't believe that if parents smokes in front of the kids then they automatically get that habit from them and they become smokers I have seen children grow up to the parents who smoke's a lot in front of them but they have never pick up that habit but I have also seen children who came from known smoking families but they started smoking in their life because of multiple reasons that maybe stress or pressure. It is true that parents influence their kids but that influnence is not the only that affect them they also get influenced by their schools, friends, social media and the society that shape them. Smoking around kids should be avoided because second hand smoking can harm their health as well. The main issue is protecting them from the health risk that is related to smoking.

Smoking tobacco is a 2nd best way to enjoy the health benefits of nicotine.  Filling one's lungs with smoke is fairly obviously unhealthy.

Humans find nicotine to be highly addictive due to evolutionary processes.  Those who used it tended to be more clear-thinking and less infected with parasites (particularly worms), so there was selective pressure for humans to use it.

So called 'snus' is nearly ideal.  I chewed tobacco every waking hour for 10 years when I when I worked in Si Valley and very few people even knew it.

The health benefits are understood by those in charge of the health of a population.  They are tasked to have people be fat, unhealthy, and slow-thinking.  That's exactly why the likes of the WHO and UN have such a war against nicotine.

I read recently that Sweden almost refused to join the EU simply because, for cultural reasons, they would not go to war against snus.  Eventually they got an exemption.  When I travel around Europe, central America, etc, I am shocked at how effective the war against tobacco has become.

Switzerland is the exemption in this war.  Super easy to find everything there.  From my research, the Swiss health authorities took a reasonably careful look at snus and concluded that it simply was not a problem.  They are (or were) neutral enough to tell the eurofaggot NGO's and their ilk to go piss up a rope.

Certainly I chew tobacco in front of my kids.  Indeed, they sometimes remind me to make sure I have my can when we go out!  As for smoking pot, if one is a loser pot-head as was one of my step-parents back in the day, it's fine; in that case the kids will be less inclined to become a doper themselves.

My sister is a long-time nurse, and a heavy smoker. She never got Covid. Let the kids smoke; keep them healthy.
