Mum chipped in to tell me she buys her fags for her cos... 'Well. Its better than doing drugs.'

er...its a choice? Fags or drugs..... hohum
Sometimes I despair Susie, its been said on here many times that smoking was cool when people of my age group (50s 60s) were teenagers, but not any more. I gave up over thirty years ago, wish I'd never started, but the first time a doctor told me it was damaging my health I stopped there and then, but of course to late was the cry. It seems that a lot of feckless parents today are anything for a peaceful life, with the attitude to their kids of don't invade my space and are prepared to risk there kids lives just to make sure it doesn't happen, we're all going to hell on a hand cart
