You think it's a good idea for parents to give kids a sip of beer, or puff of a cigarette, just to solve their curiosity, so they won't go out and try it themselves?

Midtowner 03-02-2006, 04:51 PM Depends on the kids, their peer group, the parents, etc. If the parents are good models as far as responsible use of alcohol, then I see no problem. If their drunks and condone that sort of behavior, I do see a problem. As to smokes, never, ever a good idea.

I would have to say no. They are both very bad habits. Not too many people I know, want their kids to grow up to be smokers or alcoholics. |
