I have seen countless parents smoke and smoke while their children eat five feet away or less. It says on the box how harmful it is to the smoker and research has shown how second hand smoke is even more dangerous to a non-smoker. There is also research that proves children of smokers are twice as likely to become smokers themselves. This must end now. More and more people are dying from lung cancer without ever having smoked a cigarette while those who continue to smoke are free of it. Children should never be forced to live like that. Being the child of a smoker myself, I know how horrible it feels to have to smell it on the furniture, my clothes, and the car. Not to mention having to breath it it, waking up every morning with a dry mouth and a migraine.
These kids need our help.
