To let them or not to let them?

My question is for all the parents out there or the "hoping-to-be" parents...or all of you mylotters can answer this. Will you let your kid (or soon-to-be child)explore everything bad around him like make him taste a little bit of drugs, alcohol or cigarette, for your child to be able to know at first hand what it feels like and eliminate their curiosity which might lead to addiction and for them to be more open to you. OR Will you restrict them from any stimuli possible that will make them interested in those vices and thus, preventing development of such vices in the future, avoiding addiction and regrets??? --What do you think?--(^^,)

I will restrict them. It only takes once to get hooked so why put that temptation in front of them and allow it once but not twice.

I respect your answer. So it is okay for them to have a sense of curiosity? which may lead to trying out these things?? Thanks for your opinion.(^^,)
