I had heard of teens smoking; I started when I was 15. I had even heard of children as young as 8 experimenting with cigarettes, but this is too much. I was shocked when I saw these photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And for the record I quit smoking nearly a year ago and I feel better than I have in years.

Right attitude there. Corruption should be started in early age to ensure success. That's a prime example of a job well done.

I think it was the World Health Organization that stated 50% of smokers will die of a smoking related disease.

 

Personally, I just think that all smokers smell like arse.

One of my ex-girlfriends smokes constantly, being a nurse. I'd never tell her, but it really does affect your skin.

That kid can't be more than three years old, but I'm guessing he's two. Poor kid will be dead by the time he's 25. Population control I guess...

That is crazy!

That kid has truly massive hands for a child of his apparent age.

His father's the one responsible for the original Xbox controllers, you see.

I'm not kidding. They look bigger than mine.

Too bad... I am.

They are not really that big, especially if you think that an adults hand could basically grab the top of that kid's forehead and the bottom of its chin, and compare that to his hand...

 

It doesn't seem that big to me.

My husband had his first smoke when he was around 5. His uncles or grandfathers or something.

But their excuse was that times were somewhat different then.

Kid's a gambler. All smokers are, really. We're hard-bitten rogues with devil-may-care attitudes towards life. Live hard and fast, and leave a handsome corpse. Oh, sure, you can sit around inside with your tofu and your Furbies and your non-fat lattes, but me and this little Mongolian boy? We're going places, baby. We're seeing it.

Smoking stunts your growth...so maybe he's 10...

There's no gamble in certain death.

So by not smoking, you avoid certain death?

Yeah, well, I also have really small hands.

 

And yes, I smell like cabbage.

"So by not smoking, you avoid certain death?"

 

No, instead, maybe you live a bit longer. Or you maybe you won't. It's a gamble!

 

With smoking, the odds are you die to it. How boring...

With the way pollution may go, soon the air and the rain and the wind will cause cancer. And dirt will give cancerous skin lesions.

 

And then sitting in a bubble playing on the computer 24/7 will be the way of the world, and the genius nerds shall rise to eternal power over all.

Oh wait....too late... :D

Instead of getting them hooked on phonics, we can get them hooked on crack.

 

"Hooked on crack works for me."

Semuta will own cigs. Just you wait.

I smirked a bit when I saw the pictures. But really, smoking is a big problem. I don't smoke, or drink at all. Over half the kids in my grade smoke/drugs/drink on a daily basis.

 

sXe ! "

What grade is that?

I'm probably not the best example :D

 

Started drinking at the age of 12 although at home and with my parents consent. And not to the alcoholic stupour stage. Didnt get there till I was 19. I also outgrew it a couple of years later and now you can count my drinks per year on one hand.

 

Had my first ciggerette at around age 5. My grand

parents used to smoke and I wanted to try one. Totally hated it, dont think I touched another one before college.

 

Never got addicted, have the odd one at parties and after relations but otherwise dont touch them.

Is it really getting out of hand?

 

Isn't smoking on the decline (at least in North America)?
