I remember seeing the lung comparisons and it stuck with me. But then I remember seeing some really cool movies that the coolest, best looking people were smoking and I tried it. it was awful, but when my coach saw me smoking and he was let down by that, I felt devistated and never tried it again. It takes the guts of those who don't smoke to keep nagging, and loving the person so when the situation comes up they can remember back to your words and use them for guidance. We can't make people not smoke, but we can nudge and guide and pray that they will listen to that angel on their sholder and do the right thing. I also bring up the facts and reiterate them often about what smoking does to your body, others, your self-esteem, the environment, your spirituality, etc. If you don’t smoke, them most likely your kids will not smoke.

Ofcourse at that certain age, each child is different and yes, will rebel. You set examples, afterall, your children are your reminders......your teachers and you would like to do the same fort them with what you have learnt by now...!
