There are all sorts of reasons for people starting to smoke. I was a teen looking to p off my parents for their rigid rules. Since my mother was the original anti smoker, I decided that smoking would be a good way to rebel. I have never hidden my smoking from my children because I don't believe it is a good to lie or hide who you are from your kids. What happens, for example, if your kids believe you don't smoke or have quit, then you get sick from it? Double whammy: you are sick AND you lied. Whatever! Neither my 20 year old daughter nor my 16 year old son have any interest in smoking but have no objection to other people smoking. If modeling anti smoking were a cure all for the problem of teen smoking, my mom could have been the poster girl for it.
