How old would your children need to be before you started buying their cigarettes?
What's a good age for responsible parenting? My parents settled on 10 with me.

I'm highly addicted to cigarettes because of what I did years ago. I've tried to quit, but it's one helluva battle. I hope to do it soon.I'm not going to give up.

I feel for you.That is a terrible feeling. My mom, and later my dad, both smoked and had to give it up because of their heart conditions (my mom had diabetes and that didn't help any).
What I hate about cigarettes is the nicotine aftermath - it stays on your teeth, breath, clothes, hair, windows and curtains - long after your latest one. Also, the air in a smoker's house or car holds in the smell. I didn't notice this until I moved out of my house into my own apartment. I don't smoke, but my sister-in-law does and my brother (her husband) says he can tell the difference between their apartment and mine. (If you have window blinds, the nicotine coats them, too.)
