On the Top 10 list of things you never want your kids to try, smoking a cigarette is right up there. If your kids are older, chances are you’ve already had a conversation with them about the dangers of smoking. No matter what their age when you first talk about it, it’s a good idea to revisit the subject as they navigate their high school years.
While you’re at it, don’t forget to talk about e-cigarettes too. These relatively new devices are becoming more and more popular, especially with people trying to reduce or eliminate their cigarette smoking habit. But new data shows that many young people are trying e-cigarettes even if they’ve never smoked regular cigarettes. And that can be the first step on a slippery slope towards forming a habit.
