I heard that cigarette punishment was a thing a long time ago :(

I have a few older family members who've told me that they were caught smoking when they were a kid and their parents made them chain smoke until they were physically ill...

Personally, I don't think that's the best way to teach your kid that smoking is bad... :(

There are other ways, K?

(Also, before anyone says
"at least it taught them not to smoke"
the same people took up smoking again when they were older, so it didn't really teach them squat)

Yes, abusing your child may temporarily make them stop. But then they have to spend their entire adulthood trying to heal from it.

My grandma started smoking at 11 because she told me if you weren’t smoking back then (she was born in 1957), you were considered lame. I never heard of that punishment though.
