Was reading an article this morning about a report which came out yesterday regarding children smoking. Nurses went into schools in the Blackburn, Hyndburn Ribble Valley area, to find out how serious a problem smoking was amongst young people, the findings were frightening to say the least. They found that kinds were starting secondary school already hooked on cigarettes, one teach reported that there was one young lad who was very disruptive in class because he hadn't had his fix, they also found one lad aged 9 who was totally addicted. But the worst thing to come out was that in quite a lot of cases parents were actually giving 11 and 12 year olds ciggies as a reward for being good, just what is going on
