[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 163793, member: 11028"] Absolutely right Sue that education is the key! My children have never smoked and don't think they ever will. Years ago I told them how their grandad(my father) went from a strapping 6ft 2'' 16 16 stone man down to 7-8 stone in his final days of lung cancer, I graphically told them how I would lift him from his bed and how this tore me apart deep inside to a point I nearly lost the plot! My reason was to warn them that tobacco is a highly addictive drug that damages and wrecks lives, and once hooked it is extremely difficult to stop, felt bad about telling them how their grandad wasted away and it hurt me to relive those days, but my dad would be proud if he knew that it stopped his grandkids from smoking as he ruled the day he ever pick-up his first cigarette.
