Have Kids? Throw Away The Last Pack of Cigarettes Now!
October 1st, 2008
If you have kids, I would advice you to stop smoking at least before your kids turn 8 years old. There is a reason behind it and a very strong reason as well so pay attention.
Kids after the age of 8 years old are more likely to pick up the smoking habit than those younger. If you are a smoking dad or mum, please quit smoking before they turn 8 or else there will be more future smokers.
This is because they are more likely do what you are doing, of course they tried it out and then when they are hooked on to it, they can never stop. By telling them, “you cannot smoke” simply won’t do any magic in stopping them from smoking because they will just reply, “you smoke too”.
According to the experts,
“If one parent quits before the child is 8 or 9, the child’s odds of being a regular smoker decrease by 25 percent. If both parents quit, the odds go down by 40 percent, according to the study.”
If you can stop smoking earlier even before they were born, then it would the best but in this case for those who haven’t stop smoking should really kick the habit for your child’s own good.
Children are likely to begin smoking between 8-20 years old. Yes, it begins at a very young and tender age of 8 years old. However, if your kids can stay smoke free until they are 18 years old, chances are they will stay smoke free for the rest of their life.
How can you quit smoking in such a short time?
