About 15 years ago a couple of teenage girls asked me if I had any cigarettes, I gave them a bit of a lecture mainly about the cost, ie it's effectively giving yourself a daily fine, they looked at me like I was mad. I often wonder if those girls remember that day and wish they'd listened, maybe they did listen but I doubt it!
I am also a single mum, to a 13 year old boy. I have recently found out he is smoking, and I have tried everything, but he still does it when he is out with his mates. It is purely because all his mates smoke, and he just wanted to be "one of the gang".
I also think it is a dirty, disgusting habit and have never smoked myself.
