Ok, so I was walking downtown today and I saw these kids that I know. There ages range from 6 to 10. Well they were all smoking cigarettes. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 year olds smoking isn't exactly something you see everyday. And when I walked back from where I was going, they were still smoking (this was 20 minutes later) so I know that they liked it. This doesn't give me good feelings about the people in my town or anywhere for that matter. And I know the parents and they for all I know probaly gave them the cigarettes. I just think this is sad. Ok, I'm done now.

Shame what this world has come to.

I know. It's sad.

It is very sad. I know a lot of people around here that started to smoke at that age.they don't realize what they are doing to themselves.I can't stand people who smoke around me, it gives me a headache.

ooh geez!! :(

I always thought that cigarette use has calmed down in the last few years. Now I know that it's the kids who smoke them and teens have moved onto drugs. I've seen it so much in my school. One of my closes friends can never go to Harvard now because he got into trouble over drug use. It's horrible to see how their lives have changed.

I Really hate to picture things 10 years from now. 4 Year olds will probably be bringing drugs to pre school. Scares me as i have a 2 year old sister, and im trying to make sure she knows whats right and wrong.

What in the hell possesses a 6 year old to smoke?!?

Ah that's nothing my friends. The other day we had a whole social studies class of talking. My teacher didn't feel like doing anything so he was telling us stories. He was telling us how behind his parents shed was a pair of legs. He thought it was a doll. He goes outside and sees.... well I'll put it in his words-

'Jesus Christ, I go outside and there is a 7 year old boy trying to **** a 6 year old girl. Her skirt was pulled up along with her shirt. She didn't know what the hell was happening to her. I screamed 'GET THE **** OUT OF MY YARD!' and they ran like Forrest Gump'.

Ew.

...if they're having SEX that early, it's only natural they'd need a smoke afterwards!

Seriously, being a 47 year old man smoking since 15...it REALLY steams me seeing kids being SO dumb! It's SO hard to quit when it's gone from being a casual habit, to a hard core addiction!

pOOn :cool:

That really scares me. My little brother is 5...I cannot even imagine him ever smoking, let alone next year.

Glad to have you back on the boards pontoon. :)

It is really hard to stop smoking. My dad's been smoking since he was 9 years old. His parents felt if he could afford the cigarettes then he could smoke the cigarettes. He's 48 now and he just can't stop smoking. He's tried everything possible from the patches to the gums and nothing seems to work. He either smokes or he bitches at everybody when he doesn't have cigarettes. He's just grouchy when he doesn't have them.

Infested lungs! Ugh. My God... theyre gonna be real healthy when they turn 13. They were on the streets.. and nobody said anything to them?! My God, my mother wouldve ripped it out of their hands.

I would have picked their 45lbs. butts of the ground and snatched those things so fast! That is HORRIBLE!!! What the crap are their parents teaching them? It sure ain't morals! Heck, their parents prolly smoke worse than that.

wow. 6?

That is sad. I couldn't imagine me being six and smoking.

That is really sad. That has got to be the lowest age I have ever heard for when people start smoking. I know some people at my school who have been smoking since they were like 12 or so. I've never smoked in my life and don't intend to. The parents of the kids who are smoking should be more involved in the kids' lives , so they can stop them from smoking. And, the adults should be responsible and parents shouldn't give cigarrettes to kids.

Who supplies them with smokes. In CT you have to be 18 to buy smokes and the police departments run stings every so often and try to have underage kids buy smokes then they arrest the people who sell them.

They might steal them from their parents or an older sibling. If you steall one or two at a time, a person prob. wouldn't notice it all that much. If the parent buys a carton and a whole pack disappears, he/she prob. wouldn't notice either. Just my guess.

I just watched my mother die a slow, long, painful death from lung cancer at age 67. She was a lifelong heavy smoker.
Nicotine addiction is evil. It destroys families and breaks hearts.

Disgusting, all of it. Have we gotten so far in society that kids at the age of 6 think they can make adult decisions??
