No, second hand smoke is horrible for young lungs. Such parents should be put in jail. Smoke outside, don't smoke in or near your children.

Of course not. Why not just give them the cigarette if you're gonna smoke near them... it's just as bad.



If they want to smoke, do it outside and do it where the wind won't blow into their face. Don't smoke in the car either... gross.
 
No, smoking is horrible first of second hand, Someone in my family is 40 but she looks like she is 80 from smoking and might die soon from lung cancer, her daughter who doesn't smoke has a lung problem from her.
 
If the parent wants to smoke they should do it outside and away from the kids. I grew up with people who smoked and it is hard to stand the smell anymore.
 
My father smoked when he was young, but he was careful about it so that I didn't even know about it until long after he quit. If you have to smoke when you've got kids, that's the way to do it. Otherwise, ditto what everyone else and all of those commercials said.
 
No it is not acceptable if parents smoke around their children. I would also like to add that it's not acceptable to smoke around pets either. If they insist on killing themselves by smoking then they should smoke only outside.
 
I voted only outside or with the windows open. It's a fact that smoking is also unhealthy for the people around you so do it somewhere where no one's bothered by it.

Well said since this sums up my opinion.
 
I used to smoke, but quit before my eldest child was born.
Even then, I only EVER smoked outside.

I'd never smoke around a child, ever.
 
No, that's completely unacceptable. Second-hand smoking is terrible. If you insist on smoking, do it outside or at least not around anyone/anything.
