Answer 1

put down the cigarettes. I smoke too, and its a nasty habit. But if it makes the difference between feeding your children or not, I should not even have to answer this question for you. TAKE CARE of your family, first and always first....

Answer 2

is this a brand of sarcasm? Pretty good. Very few people who smoke can give it up. The spouse shouldn't have married if they didn't like having a smoker.

It is giving the kids a poor future though, healthwise.

Answer 3

if you live in poverty, then you would need to give up smoking because your family will need the money and its bad for you and your family. it can cause a health problom for you or your children and you dont want that.

Answer 4

Definitely A

Answer 5

Quit Smoking the Kids always come first!!!!!

Answer 6

i'd say A. i have no idea how hard quitting smoking is, but i'd feel terrible knowing that a habit i'd do better without was part of the reason my family was starving

Answer 7

give up smoking is the logical answer, but it's not that simple. Smoking is an addiction and addictions are hard to kick.

Answer 8

I wouldn't have had them two kids and I could smoke in peace.

Answer 9

I would sell my wife and children and buy more cigarettes. I mean, let's be realistic...... Besides - you cannot smoke people.

Answer 10

QUIT it is not that hard. I smoked for 2 yrs. and quit cold turkey.
