Smoking in front of your children, right or wrong?

[tvbcof]

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

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

My sister started chewing tobacco in 8th grade.  It was cultural where we grew up.  I was a late starter and made the mistake of smoking for a time.  Then after doing both for a decade I switched completely to chew and have never had a chest-cold since.  Well, maybe one.

My sister never got covid either.  She got mega-blasted with mRNA gene therapy though.  Beyond that, she actually contacted the government and demanded they get it down to her community ASAP!  My sister didn't yet get turbo-cancer, thank God.  Several of our equally 'expert-loving Libtard' cousins did however.  One lost her breasts but got rid of it, and the other is very close to death from MS.

As best I can tell, nicotine doesn't make you 'smart' per-se; what it does is it makes you 'headstrong'...for better or worse.  The powers that be would prefer that their plebs don't display such characteristics whether they have control of the mind or not.

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.

It should be one of the biggest mistakes that should be taken note of…back then I used to smoke weed in front of my younger brother and one day he asked me if he would also smoke just like I was doing that very day…Like smoking is a very bad habit that should not be seen in young children…and daily repost has been coming lately about younger children taking weed and it's such a wrong thing to do at that age range…to me, I feel it might damage the cranium of that child at a younger age..

If both parents smoke at home, and you have a healthy family life, you won't have to teach your children to smoke. They will get enough second-hand.

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?

If one must smoke certainly not in front of toddlers or children. Most stoner parents are carefree and do not take into account what seeing and inhaling things like that can do a child. The cheer curiosity of children makes them want to imitate whatever they see around them and mostly without supervision.

That's true, smoking in front of kids because that its not teaching them a good habit, yeah, parents don't have to be perfect but they should be aware of some things that are not good to display, especially in front of their kids, as it will harm both their future and their health, as they might grow up thinking everything is just right and good, this will make them to hardly listen to advice that will help them, as they will think everything they are doing are right and also as they might be being seeing their parents doing that without any sign of remorse.

You can't be smoking in front of your kids and expect them to be brought up with good characters. As a parent we are not perfect no one argued about it, but they are things we need to hide from our children. we're our own children first teachers we need to teach them what is right before societies destroy them for us. Children learn by what they see,  everything they see that parents are doing either it's been good or bad, they are thinking it's right because if it is wrong we as a parent we will never do it that's what they think of us as a parent. If your children keep seeing you smoking in front of them and you don't care they will think it's okay and it's will affect their health wise.

I also disagree with smoking in front of children and they tend to copy what they see. But if they grow up with bad habit and poor character, it is mostly a reflection of how they were raised and educated.

We can choose not to smoke in front of them, but we cannot stop other people from doing it. Therefore, it is more important to teach children to distinguish right from wrong and understand that not all adult behavior is worth copying.

Many of my friend smoke, and I cannot politely ask them not to smoke every time my children are around. So, I teach my children to stay away from place where people are smoking.

What the young ones see at a young age is easier for them to learn. The more you keep smoking in front of your brother will determine how fast he is going go try it when you are not aware. Soon he will become the best in rolling up the weed. If he sneaks while smoking, someday he will not be afraid of smoking it in front of you. Unfortunately at that moment, you cant advise him because you do smoke as well.

If youngster really try to smoke, he will burn his throat with hot air and taste of nicotine will make him drop a cigarette. I think children starting from 14 only start to try cigarettes and try to hold from dropping cigarette because it will make them look weak in front of who they want to impress. I think at such age children aint that naive an silly not to understand that smoking is a bad habit. This means the mostly smoke to impress others, try to look tough. So if you teach them other methods to impress friends, maybe they wont take cigarettes and ignore that they saw you or others smoke.

Do you agree to this?

I totally agree with this, even though I'm a smoker as well but I'm an adult. If I ever made any children I would be careful not to smoke around them. So definitely 100% agree with you.

What if you are from a country that is very cold and smoking is not seen as bad thing to do, will you still smoke in front of your parents or you will not, in some places smoking is seen as something very important in the body and to them smoking in front of your parent or anywhere is not seen as something bad, we should understand this and not try to generalize smoking in front of your parent as a bad thing, it could be bad in your country or in your society but it could be also good in other people's country or their society, some tradition may say eating in front of your parent is bad and they observe it that is for their society and their way of life not for everyone.

[Dunamisx]

We can choose to live our lives the way we want but it is not wise for us to also influence the mindset of our children with some inappropriate behavior we are doing, smoking in front of them does not encourage a good and healthy living and we are not portraying a good character as a father to these children, we are expected to live an exemplary life so that our children will follow the same food step of better things we are doing and not to do what may later bounce back or not in front of the children.

[Nothingtodo]

Smoking in front of children should not be done under any circumstances, but in most cases, it is seen that adults smoke in front of children, and even in our country, in markets and bazaars, children are busy smoking in front of them, as well as gambling and playing cards. If children smoke in front of children, children can usually become curious and attracted to smoking. Children express interest in things that arouse curiosity from a young age and try to imitate them.Therefore, children will learn to smoke at a young age, just like adults.

[Adiljutt156]

Some people have made their personal indiscipline lifestyle affect the future of their children, where on earth can someone be smoking and doing it in the presence of his children, this is absurd, a very bad habit that warrant human right to take action and intervene on the children's behalf, parent have to be more sensitive to what they are passing on to their children, because the child you do not train well today will be a fish bone on your neck tomorrow.

I do agree that smoking is not a good habit and it should be avoided while being around children and it is harmful but I do not think that it is just fair to label the person who smoke in front of their kids to be undisciplined or just that human authorities should  automatically intervene in such matters. There are many smokers who are struggling with this addiction of nicotine and that is a serious medical condition it is not a matter of poor character. It is much better to educate and raise awareness about the danger of smoking and the second hand smoking as compared to only condemning.The families health should be treated with care, than labelling them as unfit parents.
