How do you feel about childeren who smoke?

If smoking is bad for an adult, it is certainly unhealthy for a child. I just can't believe that some parents would let their young child smoke like that. I certainly wouldn't let him smoke at that age.

I am very sad to hear this news. I was angry and surprised with the parents of these children. That small child was allowed to smoke. I can not imagine, how the future of this child, if allowed to continue smoking. Maybe age will not be long.

I don't know about the social cultures in Indonesia so I don't feel I am qualified to judge the adults involved in the care taking of the child. Of course if he was being raised in the united states the authorities would have been there taking him into protective custody on the spot. Whether that's a good or bad thing I will save for another post.

I very much feel sorry for them when I see children and teenagers smoking. They do not know what the consequences can be. I feel it because I was a chain smoker at one time, and it is so hard to stay away from smoking. But, I found the way and made it after some years. I feel sorry for the smokers, and I wish that they will find the way to get rid of the habit and addiction.

I hate to see children smoking. Some of them are pressured by their peers to to smoke so they will be accepted by them. Others think they are cool and popular if they smoke. It is just devestating to see children destroying their bodies, their minds and their health with such an ugly habit!

Smoking is very bad for a young child. But I think that the adults bear the responsibilty for this. I was a smoker and I was giving a bad example to my daughter. I'm happy that she didn't become to smoke. But the problem is outside the home too.

Obviously, if there are more and more children to start smoking, this habit will lead to a bad effect on our next generation. For us adults, we should trying avoiding smoking for its side effects to our health, not to mention those children who are addicted to smoking. But why they get addicted to smoking. From where I stand, that may be because that their parents don't pay attention to their children. That is to say, children who smoke may lack love from parents. So, in order to improve this situation, it is the parents' duty to lay emphasis on their children's daily life.
