Youngest daughter allowed to smoke in front of parents?

Answer 1

Not a clue what you are asking but a child should not be allowed to smoke specially if they are under age

Answer 2

I don't understand the issue with smoking! It is not cool. it is not glamourous! it is the most disgusting habit in the world. I lived with a smoker for over 30 years and when visiting relatives i am around smokers. Do not encourage anybody to smoke, the best way is to talk to her about it (without sounding preachy) and discourage it, show her what the mouth of a smoker looks like - the teeth the fingers (grandfather smoked for YEARS his fingers were turning yellow)

to the girl who said "let her do it, she's probably going to anyway" (or something like that) ARE YOU crazy. Dont you know that smoking causes CANCER!

I am over 30 and have NEVER tried it and will never try it because it is disgusting and i know what it does to people!

Answer 3

Most likely she is going to do it anyways...so they might as well let her smoke so she doesn't sneak around...they know she will be doing it anyways...so I guess to me I dont see the huge problem...but then again..it really does depend on her age...im thinking 15 and up then shes going to sneak around, but younger than that is pretty young....my mom smoked at 15 and her mom just let her because she figured she was going to anyways.

Answer 4

no.even if the parents smoke becuase im sure the parents know its bad.they dont want there kids to be smoking even with all these things about how kids shouldnt start smoking.Adults might start smoking because people didnt realize how bad it was before and the harmful effects.if yor the daughter please tell your doctor ifyou dont wwant to tell your parents.you need help.hope that solves your question.=]

Answer 5

Even if she is 18, I don't think it looks good for a girl to smoke.

Answer 6

I think smoking is a terrible thing altogether. It should not be allowed unless she is 18 years old---the legal age!!!!

Answer 7

What are you asking? Are you referring to your parents? Child should not smoke at all unless she is 18. Be more specific!

Answer 8

This is due to lack of character building in chiuldren. We can't only blame child for it as parents are also responsible for this behaviour of their kids. I have got an article to share with you.

There was an article published about a middle school student in the Reno Gazette-Journal last March. The student deliberately shot one classmate. A second bullet ricocheted off the floor and hit a nearby girl.


The 14 year-old shooter did it because his classmates made fun of him. Having been a child/family counselor, I know the pain parents feel when an enraged child becomes violent. I know how helpless parents can feel, and I know how parents can build character so that their kids choose non-violent behavior.
Using positive affirmations from early childhood can help. Below are 3 positive affirmations that increase non-violent behavior and build character too.


How positive affirmations increase thoughtfulness:


When your child invites a shy kid to play, you can increase your child's thoughtfulness with a positive affirmation like:


"I'm pleased when you include kids who aren't playing - Because it shows how thoughtful you are. Because you just made (kid's name) feel welcomed. Because you made sure everyone is having a good time."


Your child is likely to increase non-violent behavior and include even more kids when playing. Your positive affirmation encouraged him. All kids crave encouragement. Your positive affirmation increased his character too.


How positive affirmations increase empathy: When your child helps a fallen child with a bloody knee, you can increase your child's character with a positive affirmation like: "I admire you when you help kids who are hurt - Because you are taking care of others. Because it shows that you think beyond yourself.


Because it shows you have a heart that cares." Your child is likely to increase non-violent behavior and continue helping kids. Your positive affirmation appreciated her. All kids crave appreciation. Your positive affirmation increased her character too.


How positive affirmations increase tolerance: When your child forgives another child for teasing, you can increase your child's character with a positive affirmation like: "I respect you when you forgive those who hurt you - Because you didn't take the teasing personally. Because you realize words can't hurt you unless you let them.


Because it takes a child with a big heart to forgive." Your child is likely to increase non-violent behavior and become even more tolerant. Your positive affirmation praised him. All kids crave praise. Your positive affirmation increased his character too.


You can raise a child with non-violent behavior. When you encourage, appreciate, and praise, you respect your child. Your child, in turn, will respect you and others. Why not use positive affirmations everyday and build character too?
