Kids smoking
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:(

Also a bit like those parents that give thier kids a 4pk of beer and send them on thier way so the parents get a quiet night in... or out |

Re: Kids smoking
I have secondary school kids smoking out the back of my house every school day. They are there just before school, during lunch and after school. So I see it every day.

Re: Kids smoking
why should adults have to suffer : which some will if they put the price of fags up again.... why should we gear everything around the kids.... you can smoke when your ( whatever age it is now) what you should be able to do is: give them a flipping clip around the ear if they are found out to be smoking.... and more action should be taken against the shops that sell them to them:
Sick of trying to appease the youth of today.... |
