Childrenand cigarettes not a good combination! These idiots will develop caronic respatory problems at a young age. So go ahead children, but don't expect the government to pay for your illness.

most (but not all) kids are copying their parents and get their cigarettes from their parents either by commission or just outright thefts. this article says parents are the first ones to help prevent them, but they are also a lot of times part of the problem too. at least smoking is becoming marginalized in public places more and more, that's a start, even though many smoking parents smoke outside of designated areas whenever they can at non-smoking places, shame on them.
