I'm trying to quit. I'm afraid that my 13 year old will start smoking if I don't stop soon. Try not to make it something that she will use, as all adolescents do, to rebel against you with. The answer is complicated. In general, yes, but that doesn't mean that all children who have smoking parents will smoke themselves.
Kids start smoking for a lot of reasons unrelated to their parents.
Neither one of my parents ever smoked, and I do. And, I'm lucky that my kids don't smoke. So do I, Santa. That's a huge incentive. By using this website, you accept the terms of our user agreement .
