"Children See-Children Do"

I smoked for nearly 30 years. Many of those years my son saw me blowing smoke rings, or “packing” my cigarette tobacco. I did not realize that I was prepping him to smoke. I must say the Air Force saved him. I began in the Air Force. Due to their new policies of no tobacco in training, he quit (after a year of use). We have youth that aren’t so lucky. BUT IT’S UP TO US ADULTS TO SET THE RIGHT EXAMPLES! If they see it they will be it. It stops with You!
